04/28/22 • 42 min

Comedian, actor and writer Isy Suttie takes her friend Caroline to Creswell Crags – a place that’s very special to them both. As they explore the museum, caves and limestone gorge, they share their memories of visiting when they were younger and why this unique location is so close to their hearts. In the museum they discover some of the fascinating artefacts that reveal stories of life in the Ice Age – before putting on their hard hats and heading into the caves, which contain art that’s over 12,000 years old.
