Exploring the caves at the wonderful Creswell Crags archaeological park in Derbyshire. Excavations at the site since the late 19thC have uncovered considerable evidence of human habitation in the Palaeolithic ⁦‪@CreswellCrags‬⁩ #creswellcrags #stoneage #iceage #prehistoric

I made friends with a hyena today at the Creswell Crags archaeological park in Derbyshire #creswellcrags #prehistoy #prehistoric #hyena @CreswellCrags

I went to the Creswell Crags in Derbyshire today to see only known Ice Age cave art (c12,000 yrs old) in Britain. It’s hard to see, but there’s a bird in 1st image, bison in 2nd & stag in 3rd

Finally, a horse engraved into a bone was found in another cave on the site #caveart #creswellcrags #iceage

#CreswellCrags on the #Derbyshire and #Nottinghamshire border. A feeble 1.5 miles two days ago but that's all the cursed knee allows at the moment.

A photo of a cuddly trilobite with a green head, a blue ‘segmented’ body and tint cerise (legs? Cilia?)

I don’t know about crustaceans per se, but I visited Creswell Crags (on the Nottinghamshire Derbyshire border) last week and bought a cuddly trilobite. As yet I have not produced it on a crowded train, but into my rucksack it goes for Monday’s commute…

A prehistoric hand axe, located at #CreswellCrags. Terrified of dropping it! 😍

So lucky to have #CreswellCrags on my doorstep. (Notts / Derbyshire border). An unbelievable place to feel connected to our #StoneAge ancestors and see what they’ll left behind including the oldest #CaveArt in the UK.

To further bore everyone to tears, I've put todays' walk up on my website: uphilldowndalewalks.co.uk/creswell-cra...
