Chislehurst: Caves Chislehurst: Caves No Data

Description


Rather than natural caves these are man-made caverns that have been carved out of the chalk and flit of the rock for at least 4,000 years. There are three distinct parts of the caves - the Saxon workings, the Ancient workings and the Roman workings. Over the years the caves have been used for a number of activities including a successful Mushroom growing project that only stopped with the start of the second world war and the caves becoming air raid shelters. After the war the caves hosted concerts and discos as well as being used for filming. Today you can visit on a 45 minute guided tour round the key sections of the caves.
