Straddling the border of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, the Creswell Crags is an extraordinary limestone gorge which dates back to the Ice Age. There is so much to see and do at the crags that you will need to set aside at least a full day to explore the area. For a start, there are nine caves to be explored, all of which have been excavated and proved to have been home to prehistoric man, who left a wealth of ice-age tools, art and other relics (much of which are on display in the Museum). You can take a guided cave tour (the best way to learn about this significant site) or enjoy some time exploring the many walking/hiking trails.
