Journey Through Time: Burial, Belief, and the Night Sky at Hengistbury Head

Step into the ancient landscape of Hengistbury Head for a guided walk that explores how prehistoric communities understood life, death, and the cosmos. As we trace the footsteps of Bronze Age ancestors, we’ll uncover the secrets of the round barrows where the people of Hengistbury Head laid their dead to rest 4,000 years ago — monuments that still shape the land today.
