.. Must Farm boats uncovered!

"Belinda"

"Dorothy"

I cannot express enough how thrilling my second visit to Flag Fen was to become. Thrilled to find that two of the Must Farm, Bronze Age boats lay uncovered in their protected sealed environment. Thrilled to experience the workmanship and carved detail of these very special boats first hand.

On top of that, it being a quiet day at the Fen - I was able to enjoy a tour of the exhibit with a personal guide on hand for interpretation. Shivers!

contemporary stone circles, James Pond, Hampton Vale, Peterborough

Incorporated within the landscaping of the Sustainable Urban Drainage System [SUDS] in Hampton Vale, Peterborough are these two contemporary stone circles, which are placed adjacent to James' Pond.

The first is a "complete" seven stone, stone circle, situated on a southern promontory. The second is a partial circle which follows the curve of the south western edge of the pond.
