Kents Caverns
At the meeting on Thursday, we visited Kents Caverns, caves full of history.
The caverns and passages at the site were created around 2 million years ago by water action, and have been occupied by one of at least eight separate, discontinuous native populations to have inhabited the British Isles. The specimens discovered here are representative of the era's people (the other representative populations are Pakefield, Boxgrove, Swanscombe, Pontnewydd, Kent’s Cavern/Paviland, Gough's Cave and the present descendants of Celtic lineage).
Undoubtedly Kents Cavern is one of Britain's most special caves.
