Family Days Out in Gloucestershire – Explore Clearwell Caves this Summer
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.
