Sitio arqueológico en Inglaterra

Sutton Hoo es un importante sitio arqueológico cerca de Woodbridge, Suffolk, Inglaterra. Se hizo famoso por el descubrimiento de dos campos de tumbas anglosajones del siglo VI y VII. Es especialmente destacable una tumba de barco intacta que incluía una gran cantidad de artefactos y es considerada como uno de los descubrimientos arqueológicos más importantes de Europa.

Descubrimiento de tumbas anglosajonas

El descubrimiento de la tumba del barco en 1939 fue un hito en la comprensión de la historia anglosajona. Los tesoros encontrados, incluyendo un impresionante casco, armas, joyas y objetos domésticos, proporcionaron valiosas ideas sobre la cultura y la artesanía de esa época. Los hallazgos están en su mayoría exhibidos en el Museo Británico de Londres.

Entierro del rey Rædwald

El sitio de Sutton Hoo abarca 255 hectáreas y ofrece una vista amplia del río Deben. Incluye varios túmulos que marcan la última morada de reyes o personas de alto rango del reino de East Anglia. Aunque la identidad exacta de las personas enterradas aquí no está claramente establecida, se cree que el individuo enterrado en la tumba del barco podría ser el Rey Rædwald.

Historia de Sutton Hoo

Hoy en día, Sutton Hoo es administrado por el National Trust y ofrece a los visitantes la oportunidad de explorar la historia de este lugar único. El sitio incluye la Casa Tranmer, una mansión de principios del siglo XX que alguna vez perteneció a la familia Pretty. Edith Pretty fue la impulsora de las excavaciones que llevaron al descubrimiento de la tumba del barco. En la casa se pueden ver exhibiciones sobre la historia de las excavaciones y la vida de la familia Pretty.

Podcast del National Trust historia

Uno de los puntos destacados de la visita es la torre de observación de 17 metros de altura, que ofrece una vista panorámica del sitio y el paisaje circundante. Desde aquí, los visitantes pueden apreciar la disposición de los túmulos y la topografía del área.

Sutton Hoo no es solo un lugar de importancia arqueológica, sino también un sitio que ofrece una profunda visión de la historia de la Inglaterra medieval temprana. La combinación de impresionantes hallazgos, presentaciones informativas y belleza paisajística lo convierten en un destino imprescindible para los interesados en la historia y la cultura.

We arrived, I scanned my ticket, which thankfully was free from the paper, to be told every walk is closed. Which is fine, but tell me before my ticket is scanned, oh and also they shut at 1pm. Ok a little frustrating because after looking at the museum and watching the video that was it. We went to the cafe for a nice hot drink, got one cream tea and a cheese tea, the cheese scone was inedible, tasted like a lump of poppyseed dough. The fruit one was as hard as a rock. A sad shame to the usual high level foods that are available at other national trust places. Also, we should have been offered complimentary passes for another day if 80% of the attraction was closed on that day. Thank God my ticket was free if not I would be demanding a refund for a poor quality experience. I hear other people turning up after us who paid to get in this, for half an hour! Madness.

I love Sutton Hoo. A historical place worth visiting and spending the day there. So interesting and inspiring! Walking along the surrounding river there is worth too.

Not only does the history come to life with brilliant artifacts and displays, but the staff and volunteers are extremely knowledgeable and keen to answer any questions. Also amazing walks and an excellent restaurant.

The mounds are rather underwhelming, but the museum is rather good - Mrs Pretty's house is well worth a tour too. Oh, and do visit the Tidal Mill in Woodbridge and the Viking ship reconstruction whilst you're in the area.

foggy day provided a sense of timelessness. certainly stimulated the imagination and have been reading about the history of this area ever since.

We had a pleasant visit. We had lunch in the cafe which was light and spacious. We walked out to the burial mounds and walked up the viewing tower. The exhibitions were good and informative. It's definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

This nationally important burial site is a must visit . The finding of the Anglo saxon ship burial in 1939 and the contents within are the British equivalent to howard carter's finds in Egypt. The site is looked after by the national trust and although the burial site is now just lumps and bumps in a field, there are fascinating exhibitions across the site and a viewing tower as well as the usual shop and cafe. Only criticism is on the day I visited there were a lot of young uncontrolled kids who didn't care for the history or story and one kid kept describing it as poo. Volunteers and parents did nothing to address it which was disappointing

An amazing insight into a well travelled woman who had unstoppable curiosity and a local man who brought the past to life. Well worth a visit as the experience is first class

We took some family members to show this amazing place, Sutton Hoo. The site was quiet magical as yesterday was a very misty day! We had the chance to attend the guided tour which we found very interesting! As soon as we arrived home, we watched "The Dig" once again while our memory was still fresh.

Four stars because we went in Winter when most of the exhibitions were closed as was the main cafe. Had a nice coffee and bacon roll in the little cottage at Tranmer House. Had a walk around the burial mounds and went up the tower. Winter is probably the best time to go up into the viewing tower. We will visit again

Well worth a visit. Friendly helpful staff and nice shop and cafe. Personally I would have liked to have seen more information around the grounds. That said, the staff were all friendly and ready to impart knowledge.

Fascinating place. Although it was wet and windy, we went around the house and a short wall around the grounds.

Fantastic day out for the family. The Sutton Hoo story and finds are unique and the exhibition and reconstructions honour this well. A great site to wander around, plus good facilities and a lovely cafe with good vegan and vegetarian options too.
