A beautiful limestone gorge and world heritage site, Creswell Crags and the caves found here are rich in natural history. As well as the remains of many prehistoric animals, the gorge is also the site of the earliest known remains of modern humans in Britain.

One of the caves is named after the legendary Robin Hood, who was often in the region. Today, a nearby visitor centre offers more information and guided walks around the area.

After or before the Play Area take a walk all around the lake and read the information boards for some very interesting facts. Keeps the kids occupied :)
