Family Days Out in Gloucestershire – Explore Clearwell Caves this Summer


Clearwell Caves - A great family day out in the Forest of Dean

Clearwell Caves – Summer Holidays in the Forest of Dean

Step into a magical world beneath the surface at Clearwell Caves, one of the most atmospheric and fascinating visitor attractions in the Forest of Dean. This unforgettable day out invites families to delve 100 feet underground through a network of ten spectacular caverns, where stories of ochre mining and geological wonder span over 4,500 years.

A highlight of the Summer Holidays in Gloucestershire is the incredible Sculpture Exhibition – Back to the Cave: The Full Spectrum, which ends 31 August 2025. Curated in collaboration with Gallery Pangolin, this subterranean showcase features over 50 British and international artists including Antony Gormley, Damien Hirst, Sarah Lucas, and Lynn Chadwick. Follow a 550-metre underground trail through immersive, colour-inspired installations that bring art and history together in spectacular fashion.

Beyond the caves, families can relax in the Lamproom Café for lunch and cake, browse handmade gifts in the well-stocked shop, or enjoy scenic walks across the Clearwell Meend. For those craving more adventure, caving taster sessions are available with expert guides – ideal for older children and teens looking to make summer memories.

With plenty of free parking, a dog-friendly café and shop, and a unique underground experience unlike anything else in the region, Clearwell Caves offers one of the best family days out in the Forest of Dean this summer.Family Days Out in Gloucestershire – Explore Clearwell Caves this Summer 2025
