Herefordshire Through Time
Please note: In response to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, in accordance with government guidance and in the interest of public safety. All walks will be cancelled and none further will take place until further notice. Please check back for updates and we hope to see you when they return.
Since April 1999 Herefordshire Council, Archaeology Section has been organising a series of morning, afternoon and evening walks throughout the county. These walks are designed to introduce members of the public to the constantly changing aspects of life, both past and present, that influence the type of landscape in which we live. People from the local community and from further afield are welcome. A reasonable level of fitness is required as some of the routes are over steep or uneven ground. Dogs are welcome on short leads (unless stated for specific walks).
These walks are free but due to the large numbers who regularly attend these Historic Landscape Walks, we have had to implement a booking procedure.

If you would like to attend one or more of the above walks you will need to reserve a place by calling archaeology on 01432 383 352 or sending an email to Tim Hoverd. Bookings will be taken only over the 7 days prior to each walk. If you book and then find that you cannot attend a walk please let us know so that we can let someone else attend.
A number of our events and projects rely on volunteers to lend a hand and help. Archaeological work can be surveys, excavations or assiting the Historic Environment Record in data entry and historic research.
You can find below a list of current opportunities to volunteer. If you are interesting in contributing to any of these please contact the Archaeological Projects Manager, Tim Hoverd on 01432 383352 or thoverd@herefordshire.gov.uk.
