A visit to our farm usually begins with a short talk in the big roundhouse , a dark and atmospheric interior where the children's imaginations are immediately activated.. That's followed by a tour around the farm where they are shown the main enclosure, and the fields where they are introduced to the animals, whilst being given an explanation about the kind of work we do." 

"They are also shown the other structures of the farm: the storage pits and huts, the goat house, the other smaller roundhouses, and the Roman Villa we are constructing, the first of its kind built in Britain since the Romans were here. They are then given activities based on the kind of activities we believe that the Celts, the Romans and other peoples who invaded these shores up to the Normans might have performed. It all adds up to an unforgettable, enjoyable and highly instructive experience for pupils, teachers and parents alike. 

When children leave us, often spattered with mud and clay at the end of an exhausting day, it is very rare indeed to see a sad or unhappy face. Yet even more important than their enjoyment is the satisfaction shared by teachers and parents in knowing that they have learned much about their past."
