Overview

From Creswell Crags Visitor Centre we follow the Robin Hood Way to the edge of Sherwood Forest.  Returning across fields to Creswell Crags, we walk round the gorge beneath caves occupied by stone age people over tens of thousands of years.  There is the opportunity after the walk to visit the museum (small entrance fee) and café.  Caves can only be visited by booking guided tours.  see https://www.creswell-crags.org.uk/
