Canal

The Hyenas’ Den & the Canal

🔎 A Historic Discovery (1857) – While digging a canal through the valley, workmen uncovered a hidden cave filled with a 30cm bed of bones. Among the remains were:
🦏 Rhinoceroses
🐘 Mammoths
🐻 Bears
🦁 Lions
🪨 Flint tools from prehistoric humans

Archaeologists believe this cluster of caves was occupied by humans and hyenas between 35,000 BC and 25,000 BC. Be sure to keep an eye out for hyenas as you pass by the cave!

DID YOU KNOW?
The crystal clear water flowing through the canal (which is deeper than it looks) descends through a large pipe at the southern end and powers an electricity-generating turbine which generates all of Wookey Hole’s electricity.
