coldrum visited on 1st Jan 2010 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Interesting visitor center with information about Ashdown forest. Has a few prehistoric finds on display.
Display includes prehistoric and Roman artifacts. There is now a reconstruction of a mesolithic hut. The outdoor construction, which is made using only natural materials, was erected to show how people lived on the forest 9,000 years ago.
It was made by the East Sussex Archeology and Museums Partnership and an information panel has been set up at the site.
The hut represents the Mesolithic period and other materials used could include reed, heather and deer skins.
The museum also sells maps and information leaflets.
More details on their web site.
Note: Coldrum explores the new mesolithic attraction at the Ashdown Forest Centre
