Nordheimers are a lot of fun. This group is not part of the SCA but has friendly connections to the SCA.

"I was," grunted [Conan]. "I was one of the horde that swarmed over the hills. I hadn't yet seen fifteen snows, but already my name was repeated about the council fires." - "Beyond the Black River", by Robert E. Howard

Butser Ancient Farm is an open-air museum west of London. I visted there once. It's what I picture a Cimmerian village to be like, but surrounded with more trees:

I was looking through their photos, and found one that showed a friendly Roman Legion attacking them. What fun!

Thing is, you would've seen a similar Irish Gaelic village in Eire just a mere thousand years ago.
