Walk in the footsteps of the Ice Age hunter and enter a world of fire and flint. Discover a legacy etched in stone with cave art 10,000 years older than the pyramids, and medieval Witch Marks as a reminder of more superstitious times. Explore life on the edge of the Ice Age world. Creswell Crags features the only authenticated Ice Age cave art in Britain. Stone tools and remains of animals found in the caves by archaeologists provide evidence for a fascinating story of life during the last Ice Age between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago.

Golf
Lindrick is one of Britain's finest inland golf courses, providing an excellent challenge to golfers of all abilities at any time of the year.
The course, which is always in first class condition, is a mixture of heathland and moorland meaning you will find Silver Birch, and Gorse lining the fairways of our picturesque golf course.
Lindrick will always be remembered because it was here that Great Britain and Ireland beat the USA to win the the 1957 Ryder Cup after a gap of 24 years. The Cup remained firmly in the grasp of the USA after until 1985 when Europe won at the Belfry.
