Curriculum-Linked History Tours for Schools

History School Trips for Schools in the South West – Curriculum-Linked

Take your class out into real history with our teacher-led audio tours across Devon, Cornwall, and the wider South West. Designed with KS2–KS4 in mind, each tour supports National Curriculum objectives while bringing local stories, legends, and landscapes to life, from Bronze Age settlements and Celtic tribes to mining, maritime trade, modern culture, and surfing-shaped seaside towns.


You lead the day. We provide the storytelling, research, and local knowledge.


Immersive, Inclusive & Screen-Free

Our tours are crafted to keep learners focused and fully present, listening through headphones while devices stay in pockets or bags. This creates a calmer, more immersive experience with fewer distractions and works brilliantly for pupils who benefit from structured, auditory learning or reduced sensory input. No need to share headphones, audio can be played straight from the device in small groups. 


No mobile signal needed, tours are downloaded ahead of time. Just press play and explore.


Easy to Use & Budget-Friendly

Once downloaded, tours work offline with GPS triggers, (GPS-enabled devices needed) you can pause and restart at any time to stop for lunch or to talk about what you have just seen and heard. Schools receive unlimited access for a full year, (one off purchases available) so different classes can use the same tour on separate days, making trips more affordable than traditional guided visits and easier to timetable.


Rooted in South West Heritage

Written, voiced, and researched locally, our tours celebrate the stories and identities of the South West - past and present - while growing into new locations each year.


Currently available across Cornwall and Devon, with new tours launching soon across the South West
