Visited 26.7.17 Directions: Signposted from the village of Milfield, on the A697. There is a free carpark immediately adjacent to the site. Access is via a gate or the site can be viewed via a raised viewing platform. This is an excellent place to visit. Access couldn't be easier and there are several information boards which have rather amusing cartoon-like drawings on them. You basically follow the path, reading the boards as you go. This reconstruction really gives a feel for how a henge would have looked like when originally built. Alas the Mesolithic hut has now gone, although the information board relating to it is still there. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

Yesterday I (and 50 others) had the privilege to be shown around Maelmin by it's creator, Clive Waddington. The henge is based on the excavations at the Coupland henge. There is now a Mesolithic hut on the site which is based on a hut that Clive has excavated at Howick. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink

Maelmin is situated in the middle of the Milfield plain, part of the Till Valley. Today, it is a reconstruction of the Milfield North Henge. In the past it has been many things, Including a Royal Town. Interesting to see beside the modern plantation, but step back and imagine how it must have looked, with the backdrop of the Cheviots - an awesome site. The henge is 33 metres in Diameter with 21 outer posts and a ring of 30 inner postswith ditches and banks. A reconstruction, with a short "timeline walk" but worth seeing. No dogs though which is disappointing for me. You can get info in the village of Milfield at the cafe Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
