If anyone happens to be passing through Dorset, why not see if the Ancient Technology Centre are having an open day or volunteer day? An amazing site that has a reconstructed forge building based on finds from Londinium, a roundhouse based on southern English Iron Age finds, a large sunken roundhouse soil and turf topped, the Roman water wheel from the Museum of London and (out of area) a Viking longhouse. All very accurate, friendly, knowledgable staff and a wonderful belief in hands on education. can't say enough good things about the place.
