And look out for the newest exhibition, "Flag Fen: The Story So Far...", featuring a remarkable reconstruction of part of the Bronze Age causeway that once stretched across this ancient landscape.

Supported by Historic England, the exhibition, which opened to the public on March 15, centres around a reconstruction of a section of the 3,500-year-old Flag Fen Causeway, crafted by specialists Wildwood UK.

Complementing this is a striking visual representation of the Bronze Age landscape created by Peterborough street artists Tony Nero, Jonnie Barton and Nathan Murdoch of Street Arts Hire.

Visitors can now walk along the fully accessible reconstructed causeway and immerse themselves in a landscape that prehistoric people would have journeyed through.

The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to experience how our ancestors would have navigated and interacted with the wetland environment of the time.

The original Flag Fen Causeway was a monumental structure built across what archaeologists believe was a sacred landscape, evidenced by the precious artefacts sacrificed to the waters surrounding it.

The reconstruction is the result of a collaboration with leading Fenland archaeology experts, including Bronze Age specialist Francis Pryor and Mark Knight of Cambridge Archaeological Unit, who have helped apply archaeological evidence to create an authentic experience for visitors.

The exhibition also highlights the urgent challenges facing the preservation of Flag Fen. The western half of the Bronze Age causeway is already at the limits of preservation as changing environmental conditions threaten this irreplaceable archaeological resource.

The exhibition emphasises that these preservation challenges are not unique to Flag Fen and affect wetland prehistoric sites across Europe.
