COVID-19 Announcement We are currently closed due to measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This will be reviewed, in line with government guidelines,

on a regular basis.

This closure includes our Visitor Centre, cave tours, cafe, and car park. The gorge is accessible via the public bridleway, but we ask people not to travel to take exercise here. This would not be considered essential travel. We are an independent museum, with no external funding, and rely on income from visitors. This is a very challenging time for our organisation. If you are able to support us, we have a JustGiving

page or you

can donate £10 by texting CRESWELLCRAGS to 70085. Our online shop is still taking orders, but these will not be shipped until we reopen the

Visitor Centre.

You can contact the staff team, who are working from home, on info@creswell-crags.org.uk. To all our visitors, we hope to welcome you back soon. Thank you for your support. And please stay safe.

Dr Angharad Jones

Hi I’m Angharad, Collections Officer at Creswell Crags. I have always had a keen interest in the physical landscape and nature, so a logical step was pursuing a BSc in Geography. During this time, I developed an interest in past environments, and so went on to do an MSc in Quaternary Science. I was particularly fascinated by mammals from the Pleistocene (the period from 2.6 million to 11.7 thousand years ago), and completed a dissertation on mammals found inside and outside of Church Hole at Creswell Crags. I then went on to a PhD, researching hyaenas that lived in Europe during the Pleistocene. During my PhD, I travelled to many museums, and became interested in the potential of working in museum collections, particularly those focussed upon palaeontology and archaeology.

Paul Baker

I am proud to be the Executive Director of Creswell Heritage Trust. I have worked in the sector since 1998 and have a proven success record in heritage management and project development. My achievements have been as a consequence of the hard work and creativity shown by the teams I have led, and this has been recognised with a variety of accolades including the prestigious European Heritage in Motion Award

in 2015.

I am an Alumni Fellow and graduate of Nottingham Trent University with a Masters Degree in Heritage Studies. In 2017 I completed the Arts Council funded Museum Resilient Leadership Programme. In 2016 I was honoured to be invited as a Laureate at ‘Best in Heritage’ in Dubrovnik; the annual, global conference celebrating award-winning museum, heritage and conservation projects. As Director of Creswell Crags I am fortunate to be surrounded by great talent with genuine passion and ambition for this site and our aims.
