At Flag Fen archaeologists have discovered the preserved remains of a huge timber monument to our ancestors. Today part of the remains can be viewed in an undercover display hall that contains a 60 metre wall painting showing how the people of the past lived in this part of the Fens some 3,000 years ago.
The 20 acre park around Flag Fen contains recreations and reconstructions of houses and dwellings from past times, including native flora and fauna around a site packed with wildlife.
The Museum contains artefacts found at Flag Fen which include weapons, jewellery and sacrificial items. In the Millennium Centre are displays of Bronze Age life. Special events and lectures are held throughout the year, please contact for details.
