#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.

Creswell Crags in Derbyshire, one of the most important Palaeolithic sites in Britain. The caves in the gorge were used by both Neanderthals and modern humans, with cave art surviving which dates back at least 12,000 years @CreswellCrags #neanderthal #homosapiens #cave

I’ve also marked up the stag engraving from Creswell Crags, which is at least 12,000 years old. The first photo is my annotated version of the engraving and the second is as it appears. These engravings are the only known Ice Age cave art in Britain @CreswellCrags #stoneage #cave

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

The oldest work of art found in what is now England: the Robin Hood Cave horse, from said cave at #CreswellCrags, #Derbyshire. On display until 14 Sept at #CliffeCastle museum in #Keighley, in the excellent #IceAgeArtNow exhibition (free entry), part of #Bradford2025. #FindsFriday

Not easy to see. Here is the bison engraving from Creswell Crags, which is at least 12,000 years old. I’ve roughly marked up the third photo with shape of bison’s horns, eye & face. Only site in Britain in which Ice Age cave art has been found @creswellcrags #stoneage #prehistoric #iceage #caveart

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.
A bit of a wander around Creswell Crags on the #Derbyshire - #Nottinghamshire border. People have been visiting this place for 50,000 years!

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…

My @CreswellCrags Witch-Marks facemask just arrived and it's everything I could wish for. I feel medically and apotropaicly prepared for the festive season. It's the most comfy and well made face mask I've had so far.
