Clearwell Caves Ancient Iron Mines |

|
When you visit Clearwell Caves you are entering some of the very oldest underground workings in Britain, and can see first hand the impressive caverns created by generations of Forest people as they struggled to make their living mining iron ore and ochre.
On the show mine you descend 100ft underground, wandering through nine impressive caverns with mining equipment and geological displays. For adventurous visitors we have a range of extended trips with caving experiences that explore the warren of deeper workings left exactly as the miners left them centuries ago.
