Castell Henllys

If you've ever wondered what a Celtic village looked, felt and smelt like, rewind time at this Iron Age settlement, 4 miles east of Newport. From 600 BC and right through the Roman occupation there was a thriving settlement here – now reconstructed on its original foundations. The buildings include three thatched roundhouses, animal pens, a smithy and a grain store, all of which you can enter. There are even Iron Age breeds of pigs and sheep and reconstructions of Celtic gardens.

Buses between Newport and Cardigan stop nearby on request. At the time of writing, time slots needed to be reserved by calling ahead.
