Creswell Crags Centre, Worksop

This enjoyable educational outing, just outside Sheffield but easily accessible from the city center, aims to show what prehistoric times were like. Creswell Crags was the northernmost human settlement when ice-floes covered Northern Europe. The main exhibition depicts lives of hunters who lived here over many thousand years ago. After seeing this, most visitors will want to join an inexpensive tour with a guide, into the largest of the former cave-dwellings, to hear stories of ice-age life. Guided tours only run at weekends, bank holidays and week days during school holidays and if you want to take advantage of this option it is advisable to book in advance.
