Bring your children on a fascinating wander and wonder through ancient history. We will walk through the ruins of Neolithic and Bronze Age settlements and ritual complexes to explore how people lived thousands of years ago. And we will sit together in nearby ruined hut circles to make a clay pinch pot like our Neolithic ancestors may have done or a simple woven bracelet made from Dartmoor sheep wool. D365 squares include M6, N6, M5, N5. Recommended age range 7-11 years. All children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Bring a picnic lunch.
