Creswell Crags Museum & Prehistoric Gorge
On the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border, Creswell Crags is one of the most important prehistoric sites in the UK. A Magnesian Limestone gorge, honeycombed with caves, it is also a well-loved beauty spot, and Site of Special Scientific Interest for its flora and fauna. In 2019, it was also discovered that one cave contains more early modern ‘Witch Marks’ than any other single location in the UK.
A Scheduled Ancient Monument, on the government’s tentative list for inscription as an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and voted Nottinghamshire Best Large Visitor Attraction in 2019, Creswell Crags is a real hidden gem of the East Midlands – and just a short drive from the M1 at Junction 30!
