Out and About Archaeology

Join us as we go Out & About exploring the archaeology of our towns and villages, forests and rivers, open spaces and terraced streets.

Out and About Archaeology is delivered by the CBA and aims to help people discover more about archaeology, landscapes and communities across the UK. With a range of in-person and digital guided walks, talks and on-demand resources and activities to help you find out more about your local area or further afield. The mini-festival takes place annually in May. Find out more about Out and About Archaeology via the CBA website.

The walks below are available throughout the year and can be enjoyed as virtual trails from the comfort of home or used as a guided trail in the landscape.

Out and About Archaeology was developed as part of the CBA's 'Reconnecting Archaeology' project. Funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the project aims to help connect archaeology to a wider audience and to help break down barriers to engagement faced by marginalised groups and communities.

If you have a guided walk you would like to add to the map we would love to hear from you. For more information please get in touch with events@archaeologyuk.org.
