Landscape Archaeology 2010
If you are fond of country walking and would like to learn more about the historic landscape of the Peak District, I’m sure that the Landscape Archaeology group will appeal to you.
Our programme consists entirely of outdoor meetings. We visit areas with good visual remains of the past: prehistoric sites, Romano-British and medieval settlements, traces of former industries, etc. Last year, we examined Bronze Age remains on the East Moors, the hill-fort at Carl Wark, medieval Hartington and the multi-period landscape at Roystone Grange.
The 2010 programme will include visits to Great Hucklow, Chelmorton and Bradbourne.
We meet on the final Thursday of each month, commencing 29th April, when we shall go to Great Hucklow.
Our usual practice is to meet at 10am at the Co-op supermarket car park, Church Road, New Mills.
You will need stout footwear, a waterproof and packed lunch. We share cars. Usually we are back in New Mills before 4.30 pm.
None of our walks exceed 4 miles; but please note that there may be steep paths and awkward stiles.
I’d be grateful if all those wishing to join for the first time, together with companions of former years who intend to come on our first outing, would ring me, Ron Weston, a few days before 29th April.
