Haven't heard about this, but I worked for a while in the 'Peat Moors Visiters Centre' in Westhay, Somerset. This is an iron age reconstruction settlement. Great fun. Hanging around in roundhouses, playing with fire, making gritty bread with the quern and chasing after chickens. Fantastic fun.

This made me laugh.....

It's a shame they don't allow kids (apparently living in the Iron Age would be too boring for them!) Mine would have loved it...

Yep,
And I'm totally sure my 8 and 4 year olds would be a lot less likley to get board and bad tempered than a bunch of young teens that they do allow, seems plain daft to me!
