What to see

The park that you can visit today was first laid out in 1987 on the site of the earlier platform excavation, becoming a place for experimental archaeology and for public engagement. The Archaeology Park has since grown to cover almost the entire length of the causeway, making it an important haven for archaeology and wildlife, protecting the site from urban and agricultural disturbance.

Discover

The story of Flag Fen begins in 1971 when excavations ahead of the construction of Peterborough New Town revealed an almost intact Bronze Age landscape, which ran along the edge of the drained fen.

Visit

Flag Fen Archaeology Park sits in the midst of a unique Bronze Age landscape that has revealed a mysterious timber causeway and platform made by people 3,500 years ago. At the heart of the Flag Fen basin and steeped in pre-history, the park is also a place for nature to survive and thrive.
