Title: Uncover the Secrets of Graves Park with Digging Deeper Heritage Walks

Graves Park, a serene oasis in the heart of Sheffield, is set to reveal its hidden treasures through a series of guided heritage walks, led by expert Chris Atkinson. As part of the 'Digging Deeper' project, these walks will delve into the park's rich history, exploring its natural and cultural heritage.

The first walk, scheduled for Saturday 18th May, promises to be an engaging and informative experience. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the volunteer woodland heritage survey teams' discoveries, which will provide a fascinating glimpse into the park's past. Under Chris Atkinson's guidance, participants will record some of the oldest trees and arborglyphs in the Park, gaining valuable insights into the lives of those who once inhabited this land.

The project, running from January 2023 to July 2024, is a collaborative effort between historians (archivists), landscape archaeologists, and wildlife experts. Their combined expertise will uncover the secrets hidden beneath the park's surface, shedding new light on its historical significance.

These guided walks are an excellent way to connect with nature while exploring the cultural heritage of Graves Park. Whether you're a history buff or simply looking for a unique experience, the Digging Deeper Heritage Walks offer something for everyone.
