Clearwell Caves

Family day out, Visitor Centres

Reach out and touch the mining heritage of the Royal Forest of Dean.

Take the route made by miners over thousands of years as they followed the veins of iron ore deep underground. These natural caves cover 600 acres with miles of passageways leading past frozen waterfalls and deep pools. At Clearwell Caves you are free to wander through nine large caverns - some big enough to hold parties for 350 people! Or come as a group and be led through the Caves by one of the miners who still work the iron from the rock
