点评:As an Australian, I knew very little about this place, but my friends with whom I was staying in the UK, suggested that we go there....first of all, we went to the actual site. There is a wonderful museum, reasonably modern, and beautifully laid out, giving great insights into the history surrounding the dig and the discoveries and the meanings of the treasures themselves. These of course, are only replicas, as the originals are all in the British Museum in London. In summer, I imagine many people come and picnic there, but as it was winter, we walked swiftly to the mounds, where there is a viewing tower, which can be easily climbed, so the sites can be easily seen. The splendid house of Mrs Pretty is open for inspection at certain times.
There is a cafe and refreshments are available with friendly service. I was impressed by the graciousness and knowledge of the volunteers.
We then went around to Woodbridge, a 10 minute drive away, where a full replica of the boat in being built, again by volunteers.....this is truly inspiring and they are hopeful of it being finished and launched into the water in 2026.....
Give yourself a full day to enjoy this historical treasure. Then as we did, follow it up with the movie - The Dig, starring Ralph Fiennes, which was available on Netflix in the UK.
I am not a great historian, but I found this place fascinating and the presentations very enlightening.
翻译:作为一个澳大利亚人,我对这个地方知之甚少,但我在英国的朋友建议我们去那里……首先,我们去了实际的遗址。那里有一个很棒的博物馆,相当现代,布局精美,深入了解了挖掘的历史和发现以及宝藏本身的意义。当然,这些只是复制品,因为原件都在伦敦的大英博物馆。夏天,我想很多人会来这里野餐,但因为是冬天,我们快步走到土丘上,那里有一座观景塔,可以轻松爬上去,所以可以很容易地看到遗址。Pretty 夫人的华丽房子在特定时间开放参观。
这里有一家咖啡馆,提供茶点和友好的服务。志愿者的亲切和知识给我留下了深刻的印象。
然后我们去了 10 分钟车程外的伍德布里奇,那里正在建造一艘完整的船复制品,同样是由志愿者建造的.....这真的很鼓舞人心,他们希望它能在 2026 年完工并下水.....
给自己一整天的时间来欣赏这个历史宝藏。然后像我们一样,继续看电影 - 由拉尔夫·费因斯主演的《挖掘》,该片在英国的 Netflix 上可以观看。
我不是一个伟大的历史学家,但我发现这个地方很迷人,而且演示非常有启发性。
