Absolutely loved it! Went early, left late. I'm a history buff, and the details of the buildings, plus the in depth knowledge of the re-enactors kept me occupied all day, in spite of it being a relatively small site. When the occupants cook their own lunch in the bread oven in the cottage and eat it off a wooden plate, while wearing authentic period costume, you really get a sense of 1642. But if you ask, you can learn all about the different construction techniques used to make the buildings, watch the blacksmith working at his forge, etc.

An absolutely fascinating place to visit. It really feels like you have stepped back in time. The volunteers are amazing, all in character, knowledgeable, interesting and clearly skilled at their ‘jobs’. I was there more than 2 hours, lost in time and woodsmoke! The entry fee is a bargain (£5 for oldies) and the little shop has snacks and drinks. I really recommend a visit.

What an absolute treat .. we were taken here by a local friend and it was fabulous. The volunteers are in character and are super passionate about their lives in the village, even the children were dressed and spoke in 17c English etc. It was a fascinating day, I loved my chat with the medicine man and my partner loved chatting with the blacksmith. Will definitely go back.
