Archaeological sites Wales

Fascinating reconstruction of an Iron Age fort. In each of the round, thatched houses, the interiors are reconstructed, based on the speculations of archaeologists. Very little information remains about the life of Iron Age man. In the houses, guides bake bread or spin wool, passionately recounting what we think we know about the period. Many discoveries about Iron Age techniques and knowledge were made during the construction of the site. Breathtaking!

An underground complex formed by three impressive cellars, including Dan-yr-Ogof, the largest cave open to the public in Great Britain. This complex of caves has been carved into the permeable limestone layers that make up the southern Beacon subsoil. And for the youngest or most enthusiastic, there is even a dinosaur park with about 220 animals. It's very well suited for children: interactive and a little informative; they love it!

Archaeological sites and Celtic shrines along the way recall the passage of Irish settlers along the coast. There are remains of the chapel of St. Patrick, who went to preach the divine word on the Green Island; the Warrior's Dyke, a defensive rampart dating from the Iron Age (750 BC to 100 AD); the Coetan Arthur, a Neolithic burial chamber and two other cromlechs at the top of Carn Llidi, at an altitude of 181 metres. From the volcanic promontory of St. David's Head, there are superb views of Ramsey Island.
