Sutton Hoo

Before catching our ferry to Esbjerg from Harwich we checked out Sutton Hoo, famous for it's Anglo Saxon longship burial, associated archaeological finds and remaining burial mounds. I found it an atmospheric spot where it's possible to "connect" with quite a personal sense of history and origin. I've been reading Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf (link to The British Library) of late though so that might explain it!
