West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village, nestled in the scenic Suffolk countryside, is home to original homes unearthed during archaeological excavations. As visitors wander through the village, you can explore these dwellings, each painstakingly crafted using traditional techniques and materials, providing a vivid glimpse into the early medieval period.
The village is often brought to life with costumed interpreters demonstrating ancient crafts, cooking methods, and daily chores. Visitors might find themselves learning to weave, grind grain, or trying their hand at blacksmithing. The staff’s enthusiasm and knowledge make the experience both educational and entertaining, transforming historical facts into living, breathing moments. This living-history museum offers curious minds of all ages the opportunity to see, hear, and participate in the past, rather than just read about it.
