Avalon Archaeology is a lovingly crafted reproduction of Somerset’s heritage in the heart of the Avalon Marshes.
With their guide, you’ll explore an Iron Age roundhouse, a richly decorated reconstructed Roman dining room, a furnished Anglo-Saxon longhall, as well as a waterline replica of a Viking ship. Filled with hand-crafted furniture and art, you will immerse yourself in thousands of years of heritage and discover the detective work behind its recreation.
The reconstructions have been hand-built by a dedicated group of volunteers, using traditional techniques, and there will be a chance to see the volunteer team at work on the project.
After the tour, you will have time to enjoy the site at your own pace. You can make use of the Avalon Marshes Centre and visit the Somerset Crafts gallery. You can also journey onto Shapwick Heath National Nature Reserve and see replica wooden prehistoric trackways.
