The South Devon Rivers region runs from Wembury to Seaton with a focus on the tidal reaches of the Rivers Exe, Teign and Dart. Between 2019 - 2020 we collaborated with local groups to record and better understand the wide range of archaeological features, including abandoned boats and barges, the remains of coastal industries and lost prehistoric landscapes. 

Low Tide Trails

As part of our Legacy and withdrawal from the South Devon region Storymaps collating the history and archaeolgical sites off the esturaries where created in collaboration between ourselves and students during the Covid Pandemic.
