Creswell Crags

Friendly informative staff, especially our tour guide Simon. We went on the life in the ice age tour because the bats were nesting in the main cave! Nevertheless, we all had a great time.

Took my dogs here for a walk on a Saturday, slightly out of season - so relatively quiet.Great walks round the gorge ( using the free guide from visitors centre ).Flat and even paths for those who have mobility issues.Lots of dog waste bins , but very few litter bins on the trails .Also lacked benches ( only spotted one on the gorge walk ).Family picnic area, and suitable seating and children’s outdoor play area .Toilets and cafe in the visitors centre are clean and modern , with indoor and outdoor seating area .Parking is £4 for 3hrs , then a whole day rate .Tours of the caves and cave complexes are available to book at visitor centre.Overall a great place to explore , with lots of things to discover , and lots of great photo opportunities.

I'll be honest, we only spent half a day here but managed to get around the scenic Craggs and also have a rather good cup of tea in the cafe.In hindsight I'd go for the whole day and visit the museum too.It is a free day put, but parking costs (not that much) and so does the museum (also not that much).

Visited for the first time yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was ample parking on arrival, including several disabled spots right next to the door.At the reception, we were given a leaflet (free) with a map, and information about the history and layout of Creswell Crags. The staff couldn't have been more helpful with information about disabled facilities, eating areas, and activities available.There was a shop where you could buy soft toys, magnets, fossils and much more.The museum was well thought out and full of interesting facts and information.There were plenty of toilets, all of good standard and clean. The only problem I could foresee is that the toilets were fixed to the wall, which could be difficult for larger visitors.There was a cafe, which was very reasonably priced, with a good selection of sweet & savoury, meat & veggie, suitable for all ages. The staff were very pleasant. Again, the seats provided were not sturdy enough for larger visitors.The grounds were superb. There was a playground, wildflower meadow and the gorge itself was spectacular. Everything was easy access for all mobilities, and the walk around the lake was on an easy path and was just over a mile long. Everything on show had the environment in mind.There were a variety of activities (not all free) on offer, from guided cave tours, to mini-beast adventures.All in all, I was very impressed with Creswell Crags and I will certainly be returning.

I had a lovely walk round in relative peace and quiet. Main path along the lake was closed for re-surfacing but an alternative path was available. Cafe was clean and Comfortable with staff very pleasant and courteous. Will be visiting again very soon.

Much more than expected. I think the parking charge could be more graduated. Starting with a £1 charge . The minimum is currently £4. Also, the voluntary requested donation of £3 could be £1, £2, or £3. More people on low incomes may feel they can afford to support..The cafe was good.The walk around the site excellent and informative.

Enjoyable walk and free if you don't want/already seen exhibition so worth a visitArcheologists working on side are very friendly and open to talk, we even been showed what they just found and it was pretty exciting.

We only went for a walk round (its free) but you can book cave tours, visit the museum and eat in the cafe too. We WILL be returning to do that, the place is stunning, its well kept too and we were fortunate enough to watch some archeology in action. Great place for dogs too, not a long walk but just beautiful scenery. Strongly advise a visit if your into wild meadow flowers, greenery,, rocks, witches and pre history.

Fantastic place, 3 tours available about how prehistoric people lived, their art found in the caves and witch marks.Tour guides are very knowledgeable and passionate will be going back again as loves it
