As if we hadn't already done enough that day, we then went to this medieval village. We had a guided tour, it was late in the day and we were the only ones there. Our tour guide was totally in charachter, and she was so good that I forgot she was a guide. She was totally gossipy about all the inhabitants of the village, so we got a lot of day-to-day life information that way. Pretty fun!

Cosmeston Medieval Village is set in the year 1350, a troubled period in the history between the English and Welsh. The village grew out of a fortified manor constructed around the 12th Century by the Costentin family, who were among the first Norman invaders of Wales.
