The Peat Moors centre is now closed but we will keep this page to display the archive photos of fascinating reconstructions they had there. There are new reconstructions being built at the nearby Avalon Marshes Visitor Centre.
Note: Plans afoot for new Somerset Lake Village Project, see latest comment.
