Creswell Crags |
Creswell Crags is a limestone gorge honeycombed with caves and fissures. The caves are world famous as the most northerly home of our ancient ancestors who lived during the Ice Age. The first human hunters came here 45,000 years ago to hunt reindeer, mammoth and wild horse, they left behind their flint and bone tools. Today life of these Ice Age hunters is brought to the visitor through various displays; audio visual, an interactive computer program, cave tours and events. A woodland walk leads down to the gorge where there are natural caves known as Robin Hood's cave, Churchole, Grundy's Parlour and the Pin Hole. According to legend, Robin Hood came here to seek refuge from nearby Sherwood Forest.
