Creswell Crags is one of the most important prehistoric archaeological sites in the UK. A limestone gorge, honeycombed with caves, it is also a well-loved beauty spot, and Site of Special Scientific Interest, with beautiful flora and varied wildlife. Church Hole cave contains engravings 13,000 years old, from the last Ice Age; Robin Hood Cave, the largest cave in the crags, contains more early modern 'Witch Marks' than any other single location in the UK. A Scheduled Ancient Monument, on the tentative list for inscription as an UNESCO World Heritage Site, Creswell Crags is a real hidden gem of the East Midlands - and just a short drive from the M1 at Junction 30! Car park, gift shop & cafe available on site, cave tours can be booked.
Lovely place for a walk. Car parks a bit over priced at PS4 for two hours but it's a lovely walk around the lake / pond. Nice cafe and museum looks good but it's PS3 and I'll have to go back to do that. While it's worth a visit for the walk I'd book a cave tour before you go if you want to see inside the caves. I'll be going back
What a beautiful place to visit with lots of rich history, we booked in advance which I would recommend especially if you plan on doing one of the guided tours. Our guide had exceptional knowledge of the site and all its history which made the visit all the more special. The caves themselves are really nice to explore along with plenty of walks to take in the gorgeous location. The visitor centre itself is definitely worth your time as it is an interesting part of the site to look around and learn more fascinating facts.
This was a lovely attraction to visit, showing beautiful archelogy both of present and the past! The caves are superbly maintained and well signposted, inside museum has information about the history of the rocks. Ones are shown for different uses, models demonstrate other objects and the areas around the pathway are beautiful too!
It was worth a visit, and I paid for the interesting cave visit. Helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. Dogs aren't allowed in the guided cave visit. So we came back another day to do that.
Lovely, charity-funded centre, rich in knowledge about our history from the last 120,000 years. We went on the cave tour and my kids (12 and 10) really enjoyed it. Our tour guide, Simon, did his best to keep everyone enthralled. The centre itself is really pristine and the walks you can take for free are great. The children's play area leaves a lot to be desired, though! The cafe was nice, good food and lots of seating with great views.
Lots of interesting facts about the ice ages in the caves etc. Lovely scenery and if you go to reception their are beautiful walks you can go on, this is a drone picture of part of a quarry on the 5hr walk
