Creswell Crags
Home of the Ice Age Hunter, Creswell Crags is a limestone gorge honeycombed with caves and smaller fissures. 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.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated and engaging person to join the dynamic team at Creswell Crags. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable experience at the sharp end of heritage interpretation. Primary duties will involve working with visitors to deliver exciting and informative cave tours.

Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre
We’re proud of Sherwood Forest, and feel it deserves a visitor centre which is worthy of its legend and improves the visiting experience for tourists and local people. The existing visitor centre needs to be removed to help preserve the fragile ecology of the Forest, so generations to come can visit and enjoy the area. With this in mind we have created ambitious plans for an iconic new visitor’s centre which will be a major national attraction.

Chesterfield Canal
The Chesterfield Canal is in the north of England. It was opened in 1777 and ran 46 miles (74 km) from the River Trent at West Stockwith, Nottinghamshire to Chesterfield, Derbyshire. It is currently only navigable as far as Kiveton Park near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, plus an isolated section near Chesterfield.
The canal was built to export coal, limestone, and lead from Derbyshire, iron from Chesterfield, and corn, deals, timber, groceries, etc. into Derbyshire. The stone for the Palace of Westminster was quarried in South Anston, Rotherham, and transported via the canal.
