Flag Fen

Guess what we did on Wednesday?…….. we went to look at caravans LOL. We had to drive all the way to Peterborough which was a bit of a pain, but it was worth going even if it was more of a tentative look rather than buy.

By complete accident we found Flag Fen whilst we were there which turned out to be really interesting.

Flagg Fen is a Bronze age site which has been excavated. Because of its unique wetland location a lot of the ancient timber work that people would have used 3000 years ago has been preserved by peat and environment. A small portion of this is now on show to the public. The site is far more extensive than just the excavated wood working, and also hosts working examples of Bronze age and Iron age round houses, and even an exposed section of Roman road.

The entry fee is reasonable and I would thoroughly recommend it. Whether you’re just interested in the history or Britain or families with children, there is something there for everyone and we really enjoyed our visit.

For those of you who I know are eagerly awaiting the weather forecast for our Wednesday camping, it might surprise you to find that it was:

Summary:
Wednesday – mostly cloudy (note, no rain!) Night – dry (yahhay! No midnight mud wading when using the site “facilities”)
