The Archaeology & History Group is open to members who have a general interest in archaeology and history, local and around the world from pre history to the 20th century. We will have a series of indoor meetings followed by walks around the local areas during the better months. Initially the walks will concentrate on local areas relating to the talks. You do not need to have any previous knowledge.

Walks are undertaken at your own risk and before taking part you must complete your own Personal Risk Assessment, which can be found in Documents.

For further information or to join the group please contact Susan by clicking on the Facilitator link.
