On our third day in Wales, we started off at Castell Henllys, a fascinating Iron Age archeological site with a reconstructed village.
All the buildings have been built on the locations of the original 2,000 year old homes and buildings. Here, Stace is in the granary.
The interiors look as archeologists think they would have, with fire pits, weaving looms and baskets. The village was used in a BBC program that sent people back to live like Iron Age folk for a couple of months.
On our way back south, we visited Kidwelly Castle, the earliest earth-and-timber castle built by the Normans. The rest was built in the 1100s and 1200s.
The castle overlooked a medieval town, and the ancient wall and gatehouse still stand. You can really get a feeling for what life looked like 600 years ago.
From Kidwelly, we made our way back to Martock. What a great trip we had!
