Abstract: Kent's Cavern is one of the largest caves known in the Devonian limestones of south-west England and the most visited show cave in the area. It is situated in Torquay on the south Devon coast and has been known since time immemorial: visitors can be traced back to at least 1571. The cave contains a complex sequence of archaeological deposits dating from the Lower Palaeolithic to the present and has been excavated many times, notably by William Pengelly between 1865 and 1880. A new survey is presented here, together with a description of the cave.
