The caves of Creswell Crags (England) are of both archaeological and palaeontological interest. The period Creswellian, corresponding to the Magdalenian of the European mainland, is named after the prehistoric artefacts that have been found in these caves. The fossils from the caves belong to the Pleistocene. Three caves are discussed in this article. Robin Hood’s Cave yielded fossils of the Middle Pleistocene forest elephant and hippopotamus, but also of the Late Pleistocene cave hyena. The cave has been used by Neanderthals. Pin Hole Cave is the type locality of the Upper Palaeolithic Creswellian flint culture. Church Hole Cave, finally, contains nearly hundred paintings of several animals, dated around 12,000 years ago. The valley is declared protected area, because of the prehistoric art, the remains of palaeolithic human occupation and the fossils.
