West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village

Our visit with the reenactment was superb. Not sure how often they have them, but their characters and knowledge were top notch.We particularly liked watching the blacksmith at work and we could try on the armour and swords for size before watching them fight!Absolutely brilliant experience.

Had a wonderful afternoon at the West Stow Anglo Saxon village. Lots to do & experience. I got a real feel of life in that period & the various people who volunteered/ worked there were enthusiastic & knowledgeable & obviously love what they do. I took part in a drumming session which was bliss!

Interesting walk through history. Very impressive displays of stone, bronze, iron, and roman artefacts before you even get to the Anglo saxon finds. Blown away by the depth of some of the displays. Great access to the site. You can enter all but one of the buildings. All of them gave little details that made them come alive. Good disabled parking. Nice cafe set for lunchtime snacks and treats, not full meals. Toilets in the car park and in the cafe. Nice 2 hr family adventure. If no activities may struggle to hold a teenagers interest at times. Would love to visit on a themed event day.

I've been coming here for nearly 30 years and I never get bored. The walk around the lake is beautiful. You'll encounter numerous wild flowers, mushrooms, beautiful butterflies and lots of interesting bugs and critters.It's a wonderful little nature walk for all ages, and it's a great place to get kids exploring. Even if you don't get a chance to visit the Anglo Saxon village. There's lots of events that happen so it's always worth checking their website.

Absolutely loved this little Ango-Saxon village in west Stow. Stopped on the way back from Cambridge and were pleasantly surprised how inexpensive the tickets was. The village was built fully decorated and the staff were very friendlyCafe is a little overpriced but very nice and you do need to pay for parking

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit today (two 65+ people). Initially it seemed like there wasn’t a lot there, but both the museum areas were very interesting and informative, and had a lot of original artefacts and reconstructions on display. The experimental archeology village has about seven buildings, each showing slightly different construction methods and uses.The cafe and toilets were good, and there was good wheelchair access to all parts of the site. Though if you are using a manual wheelchair the rough ground in parts could make it difficult.We spent about four hours there.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Dragon Festival. Axe throwing was excellent. The Drum session in the great hall was a great experience.Would really recommend a visit.

Great walks in wonderful countryside. The car park is very large and is pay and display. Cash or through an App. The price is very good. £2 for 2 hours or £3 for all day. There is a place sit and enjoy your packed lunch. The area is clean and there is plenty of different walks to enjoy. I would only say that the walks need to be better sign posted. Will go again and enjoy the sites walks. You can walk around the lake or within the heath land, plenty to do. A nice and large children's play area.

Faithful reproduction of an Anglo Saxon village. Very much a walk round and try and read and discover the history for yourself. A guide or two would be helpful but well worth a visit
