Palisade
Reminiscent of an Old West army outpost, Palisade has a ‘Village Wall’ made of
straight tree trunks stuck vertically into the ground. Inside is half a dozen
wattle and daub huts, a shelter for horses and mules, and enough open space to
‘park’ half a dozen wagons.
Three
of the huts are connected together to make up the Lone Stop Inn – one
of the huts is used as a home by Roger and Karen Kingor who run
the inn, the second acts as a common room where food and ale are
served, while the third hut acts as a sleeping area for
customers. Choices here are limited, dinner is whatever the
Kingors are cooking, and drinks are restricted to ale, cider and Falmar
Rose wine. Bed, Breakfast and evening meal costs 3sp per person.
The other huts are an occasional home to a various hunters or trappers
who work the area.
About
a quarter of a mile from Palisade, towards the hills, is an informal
'cremation ground' where a number of funeral services (including Camer
Sethring) have been carried out. Cremations are permitted while
burial, exposure or any other method that might attract scavangers is
prohibited. A few markers around the edges of the Cremation
Ground commemorate those who were cremeted here.
