Kents Cavern is one of the most important Stone Age sites in Europe and one of Britain’s best showcaves!

On your visit you’ll go back to a time when the cave was home to ancient humans, sheltering from extreme weather, making fires, shaping tools and hunting Ice Age animals. As you walk through the extensive labyrinth of caverns, you’ll be surrounded by 400 million year old rocks and spectacular stalagmites and stalactites.

Our entertaining cave guides tell the story of a 15 year long Victorian Excavation which uncovered some of Britain’s most ancient secrets…

All tours around the cave are guided and begin in the Vestibule Chamber, as you enter

the cave you’ll feel the temperature at a constant 14c. Your tour guide will lead you through the Long Arcade to reveal how the caves were formed 2.5 million years ago and how stalagmite floors formed, sealing in the evidence of Ice Age occupations. Down in the Rockies you’ll see stalagmites and stalactites decorating this pretty chamber.

Return through Clinnicks Gallery into the Cave of Inscriptions and the Labyrinth to see examples of the earliest tools ever found in Britain, along with bones and teeth of ancient Ice Age animals. Into the Bears Den to experience the famous Kents Cavern blackout, a favourite since the 1930s.

It’s been a busy year at Shaldon Wildlife Trust, with lots of new animals for you to come and see! Our margay, a small cat hailing from South America, have a brandnew house so even if they’re lounging around inside, you’ll still be able to see them. If you want to see how acrobatic they can be why not come along and see their fed which is every day at 3pm.

2019 also saw the return of snakes to the zoo, with a savu python joining us. One of the smallest python species, they’re only found on a small group of islands in the Indonesian ocean.

We’ve had one of the best breeding seasons ever in our frog room, breeding 3 species of endangered frogs. From the highly toxic black-legged dart frog to the critically endangered lemur leaf frog. We also began supporting a lemur leaf frog conservation project based out in Costa Rica.

We still run our ever-popular lemur liaisons, meet the meerkats and keeper for the day experiences and have added a new one. Minibeast Madness the perfect experience for anyone you know who loves creepy crawlies. There’s no age limit for this experience so children and adults of all age can get up close with some of our smallest residents.

And don’t forget your tickets are valid all day so you can keep coming back to see our various feeding times. 11am is our lemurs and capuchins, 1pm is when our nocturnal animals including our loris and armadillos get fed and finally we have our margay and civet talk and feeds at 3pm, giving you a chance to see our Owston’s civets, one of the rarest carnivores in the world.

Perfect for outdoor adventure, our children’s play area and children’s assault course will keep the little ones happy, and our lakeside café, snack bar and gift shop will ensure that your every need is catered for.

Directions

In the Teign Valley off of the A3193, follow the brown tourist board signs.

Canonteign Falls, Christow, Exeter, Devon EX6 7RH

Situated within Dartmoor National Park in the heart of Devon’s Teign Valley, the waterfalls tumble down ancient rock formations to meet the lakes below, offering some of the most spectacular waterfall and ancient bluebell woodland scenery in Devon.

A breathtaking sight, described by one visitor as “one of the most magical places on earth ”, wildlife thrives in the peace and tranquillity that makes the Falls a haven for both adults and children. Well-marked pathways take you on three scenic walks, suitable for varying ages and abilities. Our Victorian fern garden at the top of the Falls is a magical hidden treasure of Victorian landscaping.

We have seven interconnecting lakes. The main Lily Lake has a central island with beautiful purple flowering rhododendrons and provides safe cover for the many Mallard ducks and Canada geese. Clearing of trees has been undertaken at the Falls end of the lake and visitors can now enjoy much enhanced views whilst walking around it. The six lower lakes are linked up with grassy walks and bridges. Planting combinations of fox dogwood, acers, gunnera and pampas grass provide year round texture and colour.

Taking the path leading to the wetlands and lower lakes is one of the most fascinating nature walks in Devon, giving you the opportunity to spot kingfishers, bats, butterflies, wildfowl, and dragonflies. The Canonteign bees have an idyllic corner in the old orchard where they busy away making delicious honey. Honey harvesting is done on site and our fresh honey is on the shop shelves usually within 48 hours of collection from the hives. The Pirate Ship climbing structure within the large play area offers rock hold walls, a fireman`s pole and pull up ramps or children can go below deck and create a den. So gather up your treasure chests “me hearties” and let’s set sail! You can even add to the fun with pirate hats and other related items available from our shop.

Café

Our café offers locally sourced, freshly made selection of delicious salads, open sandwiches, homemade soups and much more. We have a daily specials board with a large variety of additional fayre that always includes a vegan, vegetarian and gluten free option.

And why not enjoy a delicious latte or cappuccino made with freshly ground Italian coffee and a slice of one of our delicious homemade cakes or perhaps a traditional Devon Cream Tea after your walk?

The Gift Shop at Canonteign is situated in the original farm buildings of Canonteign Estate in what was most likely the milking parlour. This season we have a whole new range of stock showcasing unusual and imaginative gifts for all the family, many of which are made locally. These include some stunning new pottery, turned wooden gifts, ornaments, jewellery, pretty scarves and colourful bags, wooden and educational toys, gardening gifts, soaps, ornaments and our new men’s range! Our branded merchandise includes Canonteign Falls tea towels, bags, mugs and prints. We also sell Becky Bettesworth prints, and a range of chocolates, fudges, jams and chutneys from all over the West Country: delicious!

The music line-up will please many summer festival goers, with acoustic punk favourite Gaz Brookfield headlining the afternoon session with support from local trio Cut Throat Francis. Things will get even livelier in the evening session as Bristol folkrockers Imprints warm up the crowd ready for the final act.

Advance tickets cost £6 (afternoon), £9 (evening) and £12 (all day) and are available online and in person from the Komedia box office.
