After the Iceni of East Anglia led by the legendary Boudica have rebelled against Roman rule and lost in AD 60, the Romans built a series of forts across the Midlands, including the Lunt. This turf & timber fort is now partly reconstructed.

Just south of Cardiff you will find the town of Penarth. In the 1970s the local council decided to create a country park out of a former quarry and landfill site just outside of Penarth in area that was marked on old maps as being called Cosmeston.

The Globe, or better put 'the International Shakespeare Globe Centre (ISGC)' is more than a construction of a theatre, the way it might have appeared in Shakespearian times. It has a continuing experimental role in both acting and today's society.

At the far southwest of England lies Cornwall. One of its fishing ports is Penzance. In the area near Penzance lies Bodrifty Farm, with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the English Channel on the other. In the 1950s, 8 Iron Age roundhouses were excavated in this enclosed moorland, within a low enclosing bank.

Llynnon roundhouses (UK)

At Llynnon, funding was available to put disused woodland and coppice back into use. The idea came about to construct a Bronze Age / Early Iron Age area with two roundhouses which were eventually completed in 2007. As all the materials where sourced from this woodland it proved very successful.
