Things to do

Kents Cavern

Undoubtedly Kents Cavern is one of the most special caves in the country. The incredible geology and rich archaeological heritage of the cave has been astounding scientists and visitors alike for centuries. Records show the mysteries of the caves have been enticing explorers to venture into their depths since 1571. However, archaeological evidence and research reveals that people and animals have been visiting the caves for hundreds of thousands of years.

Kents Cavern is a gateway visitor centre for UNESCO’s English Riviera Global Geopark.  The Geopark reveals a geological story that goes back 400 million years and one which has shaped the landscape and cultural heritage of the area. Kents Cavern is a protected national site because it is by far the most important prehistoric cave dwelling in Britain.  It is known around the world for its archaeological record of prehistoric human life in ancient Europe.

Visit Paignton

Long sandy beaches, first class attractions and a vibrant Paignton has them all. Life revolves around the seafront, which resonates with the sounds of laughter and fun, but there are other sides to this distinctive seaside resort.

Most of the town is level with the seafront and its sandy beaches, pier, harbour and theatres, all within easy reach. Paignton Green is the home of many events, festivals and exhibitions throughout the year, providing a scenic focal point for the resort. In the high season, carnivals, regattas and festivals follow each other without pause, and every August the Green holds a Children’s Week – seven days in Paignton devoted to giving children the best time of their lives.

At night, Paignton’s seafront comes alive and is perfect for an evening stroll. There is a variety of excellent food and drink, and between the multiplex cinema and the redevelopment of the historic Palace Theatre, there is an exciting mix of quality entertainment all year round.
