Assessor comments
"Try your hand at excavating and touch real artefacts."
Overview
DIG is a hands-on interactive archaeological adventure. It is the perfect way to introduce children to the wonder of archaeology. Grab a trowel and sift through clues in four excavation pits, with mess-free synthetic mud to unearth Roman, Viking, medieval and Victorian artefacts. Professional archaeologists will help interpret finds and place them in their historical context. Admission is by timed tour and it is recommended that you pre-book your visit through the website.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
