Spent a great day at Creswell, a place I've been meaning to visit since I saw the first episode of A History of Ancient Britain with Neil Oliver, and saw the famous bone horse engraving. A stunning location that really evokes a sense of our ice age past. Unfortunately I couldn't get into the caves themselves as tours only run at the weekend. I'll be going back for that experience as this is a unique site in the whole of the uk, There's a great presentation in the visitor centre with a CGI animation of the crags at various stages from 120,000 years ago to 100 years ago when excavation started.
The most interesting fact I've taken away is discovering that stone age man used not just flint but other quartzite stones for cutting tools. That widens the scope in terms of my own, admittedly pretty feeble, attempts at learning these ancient arts.
