World of the Vikings
www.pastforward.co.uk/vikings/index.html
This site gives a very extensive and informative view of the Vikings and their culture. It covers their history, the key battles fought, the routes they took through Europe, their gods and their customs. There are sections on runes, and links to museums both in the UK and abroad. Information is also provided about re-enactments.

Swedish History: the Viking Age
www.utb.boras.se/uk/se/projekt/history/
articles/vikage/vikage1.htm
Although it is apparently a Swedish school project, this is a worthwhile site. Most areas of Viking life – ranging from gods to writing, and from explorers and ships to warriors – are covered. There is also a sizeable section on the Vikings' campaigns.
