Mined for iron over 2,500 years, the Caves represent a unique
survival of an ancient Forest of Dean tradition of Free Mining,
still producing pigments for natural paints.
Nine impressive caverns open to the public, with displays
throughout. There is a tempting tearoom and Cave shop which
stocks minerals, books and gifts, including pigments from the
mine.
Educational and fun - a great underground experience for all the
family!
