A trip to the viking farm and Nordvegen history centre at Avaldsnes, near Haugesund in western Norway. More info and photos: https://www.lifeinnorway.net/avaldsnes-vikings/

Avaldsnes was home to Norway's first viking king, Harald Hårfagre. Known as Harald Fairhair in English, the king was said to be the first to unite Norway's kingdoms into a single crown.

The viking village is set on a lovely wooded island, a 10-minute walk from the museum. The village is hosted by four actors dressed as the chieftain, his wife and their sons. I joined a guided tour led by the chieftain's wife.
