Arram Village

Archaeological enthusiasts will find themselves standing on ground that has witnessed over two millennia of human occupation. The Roman settlement that once thrived here between the 1st and 4th centuries AD has left behind foundations and pottery shards that tell the story of daily life in ancient Yorkshire. You won't find flashy visitor centres or guided tours - this is archaeology in its rawest form.

Families with young children might struggle to maintain interest, as there's little above ground to capture the imagination. However, older kids with a genuine interest in history could spend a good hour exploring the visible remains and trying to piece together how people lived here. The site works brilliantly for those who enjoy a quiet wander and don't need everything spelled out for them.

Being just outside Driffield, it's easily accessible from several holiday parks in the area. The Paddock Pods at Homeland sits practically next door, making it a simple morning excursion. Combining it with a visit to nearby Dacre Lakeside Park or Blue Rose Country Park could make for a varied day out that mixes history with more conventional family activities. Best visited on a dry day when the ground conditions allow for proper exploration of the site.
