Exmoor National Park Authority

Ever wondered what lies hidden beneath Exmoor’s rolling hills and wooded valleys? The Living Landscapes – Exmoor Pioneers lidar portal project is your chance to uncover the secrets of the past using remote sensing technology. Discover lost settlements, trackways, and field systems - through an interactive online portal.

Ideal volunteering from home opportunity. 

Training and Support provided

On the portal website you will find great training videos to take you through the process of understanding what Lidar is, how it works and how you can begin making archaeological discoveries on Exmoor.

We are running an online evening workshop on Thurs 22nd Jan to discuss findings and give support to new users of the portal.

Field Visits

Once discoveries are made, you will have the chance to get your boots on and explore your findings alongside heritage experts, helping us to gain deeper insights into Exmoor’s past. Be part of the journey and help bring Exmoor’s lost heritage to light!
