Educational Resources for Schools, Communities and Lifelong Learners
History School Trips for Schools in the South West – Curriculum-Linked
Bringing History to Life Through Place Based Learning
Learning becomes more meaningful when it is connected to real places, real stories and real landscapes.
Our educational resources help schools, home educators, community groups and independent learners explore local history through self guided audio experiences, heritage storytelling and place based learning. Designed to support curriculum topics while encouraging curiosity and exploration, our resources bring the past to life through the places where history happened.
From Bronze Age settlements and Celtic communities to mining, maritime trade, industrial heritage and coastal culture, learners can engage with history in a way that is immersive, accessible and memorable.
