Discover what life was like in Torquay 40,000 years ago

Following mainly the South West Coast Path, this walking tour takes us back in time to Torquay during the Ice Age. As we walk through the forests and take in the stunning coastal views, we’ll envisage just how different Torquay would have been at this time, filled with an enormous quantity of extinct ice age animals. The tour will include discussions about woolly mammoths, saber-toothed cats, Neanderthals and why Devon was integral to the early understandings of the Ice Age.

• Hear about the animals that once lived and died in Torquay and how these animals helped to secure the English Riviera’s UNESCO Global Geopark status.
• We’ll discuss the multiple different species of human that would have once walked this same route.
• Get hands-on experience touching the bones of these extinct animals and the tools left by humans.
• There is the option to take a guided tour through Kents Cavern to delve deeper into the Ice Age (this is an extra cost)
• Afterwards, enjoy light refreshments the Kents Cavern cafe.
