Archaeolink is all about making history fun, in an educational and interactive way. Visitors start in a modern centre that is discretely built into the landscape. Within the visitor centre there is an introductory film (~ 20 mins) and a very dimly lit corridor that introduces visitors to ancient Myths & Legends.
Visitors then step outside and follow a path that winds through the park and examples of dwellings that cover 10,000 years of time, from the Mesolithic to the Iron Age. These dwelllings range from simple animal skin huts to a large Iron Age farm stead.
Actors show how people lived in the different eras, but it is worth checking in advance to find out what is scheduled for the day. When we visited in May there were only a few demonstrations taking place, but we understand that it is often busier with interactive demonstrations of Bronze Casting, Pottery and Roman Military camps.
Archaeolink will entertain young children, but is less likely to appeal to adolescents.
Guided Tours take place at 1pm and last 45 minutes.
