18-Jul-2023 / Norstead Viking Village
Norstead replicates a Viking port of trade as it may have looked during the Viking era (790-1066 AD).	As we walk down a wooden pathway we started to feel like we are entering an old Viking village named "Norstead".

This shed houses a full-scale replica of the Viking ship "Snorri".	Inside we found the "Snorri", a 54 foot long Viking knarr.


Outside we found replicas of Viking Artwark and a field used to a sport called Ax Throwing.
This is a Viking-style Chieftain's Hall	Inside we could listen to Viking tales.Check and out info on the blacksmith forging iron.

Time to return from the Viking era (790-1066 AD) to 2023.
