About West Stow Country Park and Anglo-Saxon Village
What was it like in early Anglo-Saxon times ? Perhaps we will never really know ? Walk in the footsteps of our ancestors, explore their homes, see the evidence for yourself - then make up your own mind.
The village West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village lets you explore the way our ancestors lived. The early Anglo-Saxon village (c.420-650AD) has been carefully reconstructed where it was excavated. Experimental archaeology has provided new ideas on what life was once like at West Stow. In the Anglo-Saxon centre, objects from the original village are displayed, telling the fascinating story of this settlement and the people who lived here. Visitors can go into the houses, smell the wood smoke, feel the solid wood, imagine living in early Anglo-Saxon times. You might see wildlife, crops, pigs or hens; there is no hurry on this journey through time. Due to the presence of livestock in the village we regret that dogs are not permitted in the village. The country park Beyond the car park, play area, visitor centre, shop and cafe is a 52 hectare country park bursting with life. There are plenty of opportunities for picnics, walks and trails in woodland and heathland, along the river Lark and around the lake. Dogs must remain on a lead in the country park due to the presence of livestock. Events
