Explore archaeological reconstructions from prehistory to the medieval period.

Hand-built by a dedicated group of volunteers using traditional techniques, 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 under construction, 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.

After the tour, you will have time to enjoy the site at your own pace. You can use this time to visit the world’s oldest excavation hut and watch short films on local archaeology in the Bulleid and Gray Cinema.
