Maelmin Heritage Trail
There were ancient settlements to the east of the modern village of Milfield, by the River Till. The royal Anglo-Saxon palace of Maelmin was founded here in the late 7th century, as a successor to nearby Ad Gefrin, following the death of Edwin. The remains are only visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs. The Anglo-Saxon settlement here covered a wide geographical area; it's people reused earlier ritual sites for their own cemeteries at Milfield South Henge and at a henge north-east of Milfield Hill. The area of the settlement are a Scheduled Monument.
Today the Maelmin Heritage Trail provides visitors with historical reconsructions, including a mesolithic hut, dark age house, and henge.
