Geocache Description:

Hidden near the prehistoric site of Kents Cavern, the terrain is very easy and provides an opportunity to visit these beautiful caves.

Kents Cavern is beyond doubt one of the most important sites in Britain for Palaeolithic archaeology. The extensive date range of the human activity found within the cave complex and the good dating evidence create a resource which is of international significance. Human beings were using the caves from over 350,000 years ago and there is evidence of periods of occupation throughout the Palaeolithic period, up to 10,000 years ago. The value of the caves is further enhanced by the rich diversity of animal remains, which allow us to reconstruct climatic conditions through an enormous length if time, covering several glacial and inter-glacial cycles.
The access to the caves for the general public allows a very rare and valuable opportunity for a wide range of people to explore and understand a remote part of the human story. The site is designated as a scheduled monument in recognition of its value to society.

This is one of many official English Riviera Geopark caches hidden at key sites around the English Riviera – a UNESCO Global Geopark. Each cache is located somewhere of significant interest and aims to teach something about this wonderful Geopark.
Geoparks aims to protect geo-diversity and to promote geological heritage to the general public as well as to support sustainable economic development of the area, primarily through the development of geological tourism.
This particular cache was hidden in May 2011 as part of the annual English Riviera Geopark Festival.
