Creswell Crags - Worksop

Set on the edge of Derbyshire this is a little oasis of countryside calm. We popped in on Sunday afternoon for a quiet coffee. There is a small cafe, a shop, an exhibition centre and meeting rooms. There are walks around the woods and lake and from time to time, guided tours around the cave paintings. The cafe is modern with indoor and outdoor seating. Floor to ceiling windows with views to the woods. Typical National Trust/English Heritage coffee (so average) with packaged ice cream, cakes and soft drinks. The setting and surroundings make this forgivable. From the interest perspective this is a lovely place to explore and have drink. If you are looking for fantastic coffee and cakes this is not the place. Would recommend however and will go back. Good parking with excellent disabled facilities. Can get very busy. Expect to walk. Great for kids who like to explore and for short walks. If you found my review helpful I would be grateful for a thumbs

First time visiting at the weekend and it was a lovely walk round! You do pay extra to take a tour, and saw a few people doing so, and you also have to pay to enter the museum £3 per adult, children free. Unsure of max age for that) which was interested but felt a little empty in parts. Overall, a really nice few hours out! Car park was charged at £3. Best to check this before going, as I'm unsure on what time that allowed you

One of my favourite places. It has such a lovely feel to it, beautiful just for a walk then there's the amazing history and archaeology of the place which is so well explained by the knowledgeable and friendly tour guides (thank you Simon for a fantastic Ice Age Art tour today! .

Parking was £4 for 3 hours which is manageable but we paid £6 for all day. Tour was £11 each. We did the Robin Hood Cave and were told to meet 15 min early but this was not required as guide showed up on time. No artwork and very little cave exploration. Most content was aimed at children and had props that could have been shown outside of a cave (the bulk of the tour). Enjoyed the last 10 mins actually entering the deeper section of the cave. Perhaps a private tour would be better for adults without children? Didn 't feel value for money if I 'm honest. The walk around the lake is lovely and we did this in less than an hour which was ideal. The museum was limited but worth a visit for all the cave 'finds ' and info. The shop is well put together with some lovely items to purchase at reasonable prices. All in all an enjoyable day out. Would give 3.5 stars but that 's not what Google allows.

What a stunning place to while away an hour or two. With added bonus of knowing that Ice age people lived there. Like walking umongst our ancestors. Highly recommend a visit. Plus a cheeky ice cream at the cafe to complete the joy.
