We look forward to welcoming you back to Creswell Crags! All of our plans will be subject to change and we ask visitors to check our social media for announcements at each stage of the reopening process and to ensure they are aware of the latest government guidance. We will observe and enforce government rules to keep all staff and visitors safe. 

Please do not travel to visit us without confirming we are open, and what facilities and activities are available. If you wish to go on a cave tour this MUST be pre-booked. However, you do not need to pre-book for the museum exhibition, car parking, cafe or walks around the gorge.

Social distancing measures will be in place around the indoor parts of the site and hand sanitiser provided. We are required to ask all visitors to scan the QR code or leave their contact details for the government’s Test and Trace scheme. Face coverings are mandatory inside the museum/visitor centre building and in caves during cave tours.
