Grime's Graves Education Visit

Bring your class to Grime's Graves, the only Neolithic flint mine open to visitors in Britain, for free! Enhance your teaching at this spectacular site, where your class will be immersed in our brand-new, spectacular audio-visual displays and can explore our new exhibition. As a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a habitat for rare plants and fauna, there are also lots of opportunities to explore the unusual ecosystems at Grime's. Please note: visitors over the age of 7 can descend 9 metres (30ft) by ladder into one excavated shaft to see the jet-black flint.
