Was a last minute decision to visit as I found it on a local Google search the night before while on holiday. I took my 15 and 16 year old daughters and we all loved it. The village was wonderful and really quite surprising just from the sheer size of the huts. The villagers were extremely knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. They were happy to answer any questions visitors may have had. The only drawback was that we didn't have time to see everything. We watched and joined in with the weaponry demonstration given by a wonderfully captivating man, and watched another demonstration by an older very interesting gentleman on the use of fire and the methods used to create it. We did miss the bread making, crafting demo's and joining of the tribe though due to time restraints as our session was 10am-1pm. However the entry fee was very reasonable so if we are ever in the area again we would happily visit again to see what we missed. There was some cool stuff in the gift shop and the cafe food was great although it was a bit of a wait for food to arrive but they were very busy to be fair. Would absolutely recommend if you have a few hours to spare, go check it out.
Very interesting archaeological site brought to life. The guide knew all about the excavations and rebuilding and she was fascinating to listen to. I was able to access the site using their mobility scooter. Dog friendly too. Cafe also had outdoor seating. Suitable for all ages.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
Imaginative, educational and entertaining. Brilliant value for money with a family ticket well under £20 and a fabulous cafe on site. We loved our visit and it is well worth booking a free tour, they happen twice across each day. Be prepared to leave with your head full of Iron Age tales and smelling of well seasoned wood smoke.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
Lovely experience well worth a visit. Includes a very nice cafe, friendly and informative staff, and a beautifully reconstructed iron age village and hill fort. As we visited around Christmas, there we're no activities for children, but we still had a great day out.
We visited Castell Henllys today with our young rescue dog while on holiday in the area. The staff are super friendly and helpful and were brilliant with our lively over-friendly boy. The walks to and from the village are beautiful, the iron age village is really interesting and the sit in general is very well maintained. We stopped for a cuppa and cake in the cafe before we left, the prices are very very reasonable and the cakes are amazing! Very much a dog friendly venue and well worth a visit if you're in the area.
Our two kids 11 and 13 LOVED the Iron Age Village and so did we. It's mostly outdoors, and we benefited from a sunny day, so if it's cold or wet, dress appropriately for the iron age. It really felt like a step back to a different age, with displays, activities, explanations, and interesting information. The staff were passionate, informed, interesting, talented, and engaged the children and adults at every step. The cost of tickets also felt very inexpensive for everything we were able to do there. Thank you Castell Henllys Iron Age Village, one of the highlights of our year, and our girls have been talking about going back again for the last month!
A unique historical attraction, rebuilt on the site of an original Iron Age camp. Lots of scenic views are to be had on what is quite a small site, but there’s nothing quite like seeing a roaring fire in one of the huts. There were staff/volunteers on hand with demonstrations, which was a nice extra touch.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
We drove there for an hour from our holiday location. We found it very worth while as the site is very well laid out and it felt authentic. the staff up at the settlement were excellent and we really enjoyed how they approached I think about 2-3 hours would be a good amount of time to spend on site. And would be a good morning or afternoon visit. We also had lunch there which was very nice. Well worth it
Loved it. The atmosphere, the opportunity to sit and absorb the sights and smells, as well as the interaction with the guides. Watching the swallows/House Martins nesting inside the many round houses was both funny and fascinating
Lovely little spot, something of a hidden gem. Didn't book in advance as the website was unclear hence the taking off of a star so was not able to get our full time there & missed the bit I went there to see ‍ However, the rest was amazing. The "tribe" were so knowledgeable &, more importantly, passionate. Plenty to keep the kids entertained & a lovely little café with very helpful & accomodating staff: also the tea is made with REAL milk not uht so massive bonus.
