Take a magic carpet ride to experience a day in the life of people from the Iron Age – without leaving your seat.
The event at Loggerheads Country Park on Thursday, May 20 (2pm-3.30pm) will allow people to travel back 2,500 years to experience some of the sights, sounds and smells of the Clwydian Range during the Iron Age.
Using novel materials, participants can sample the lifestyle of the Iron Age people, sample a light lunch that would have been popular in this period and be guided on a virtual walk.
Erin Robinson, Interpretation Officer for the Heather and Hillforts Project explained, “We are incredibly fortunate to have such an archaeologically rich landscape on our doorstep. However, as their name suggests hillforts were built on top of steep hills, so not everyone is able to visit them in person.
“Using a series of events this year we are hoping to bring the heritage of the hills to everyone and give all visitors the chance to experience the stunning Llantysilio Mountains and the wonderful Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which celebrates the 25th anniversary if its designation this year.”
This is one of eight events being organised by Denbighshire County Council, with the aim of allowing people with physical, visual or hearing impairments to have access to Denbighshire’s countryside. A British Sign Language interpreter will be attending this event.
The next event will be held on 15 June when people can be guided through the landscape of the Loggerheads river valley on another ‘magic carpet ride’.
