What better way to engage your students in history than to let
them experience it for themselves?
At Bullace Hill a complete 17th century farm has been rebuilt on a 8 acre
site near Chepstow, overlooking the Bristol Channel. The farm contains:
gardens, barns, hay meadows, woodlands and orchards. But apart from that we
keep accurate 17th century livestock including horses, pigs and of course
sheep.
Once a year the site comes to life and is filled with people you would have
run into when visiting a farm in the 17th century. Women spinning, a
shepherdess looking after sheep and small children. A charcoal burner, men
working in the hay meadows, dairymaids. You might even meet the master of the
house...
A tour of the site is something your students will long remember. Given
proper preparation at school the visit will be a very valuable part of the
regular curriculum.
In 2010 the living history will take place from Monday 5th July until Friday 9th July
