It's easy to imagine the Avon valley in prehistoric times, when the Barrow building cultures of the Neolithic and Bronze Ages build the funerary monuments on the high ground bordering what was then an extensive estuarine wetland, which from the Iron Age had the impressive fortified settlement and important trading hardour of Hengistbury Head at its mouth. When the weather is wet, areas of the landscape revert to their former prehistoric state and standing water is common for several months of the year.
