Butser Ancient Farm is situated in rural Hampshire within the Southdowns National Park. An "outdoor laboratory" for experimental archaeology which has been running for over 40 years, focusing on prehistoric and ancient Britain.

Here you can expect to find Neolithic, Ironage and Roman homes all reconstructed with archaeological evidence taken into account. There are also ancient breeds of livestock, crops and a working technology centre.

At Butser the policy is to test the archaeology to see what would (or would not) have worked. It is a scientific experiment on the side of a hill! There are always some hands on activities to have a go at and special events throughout the year. This is also a great education centre for school/uni visits which is tailored to the curriculum.

Visitors will appreciate the new sustainable visitor centre which houses a small shop, information, hot/cold drinks and modern loo's with hot running water! Picnics and dogs on leads are welcome.
