Underground boat trips and hands-on workshops

Dudley Canal & Tunnel Trust

Bring your students for a day trip they'll never forget, taking a journey underground by canal boat into the limestone mines and caverns underneath the heart of the Black Country.

Our school visits are tailored for age group and include a 45 minute boat trip, a 45 minute workshop led by our staff and an hour of student-led activities around our site which we provide.

Choose your workshop from our wide selection available on our website. Workshop focus areas include sedimentary rocks and fossils, igneous rocks and minerals, maths, the industrial revolution and more.

On our boats, your students will experience first-hand the limestone of the Siluriuan period, seeing fossils that are 428 million years old, as well as understanding the importance of limestone in the industrial revolution. The network of tunnels, mines and caverns is globally unique and important, and guaranteed to impress both staff and students of all ages.

We tailor each visit to the group's age, ability and topic of study so please get in touch with us to discuss what we can do for your students!
