Carefully researched digital audio experiences for heritage organisations.

Past Paths creates carefully researched digital audio experiences for heritage organisations. Combining architectural and historical expertise with engaging interpretation; our experiences allow visitors to explore each site at their own pace.

Every experience is created in partnership with the organisations that know these places best.

01

Carefully researched

Every experience begins with historical and architectural research, ensuring visitors receive information that is accurate, engaging and appropriate to the site.

02

Professionally produced

We work with heritage organisations to create polished digital experiences that complement existing interpretation rather than replacing it.

Self-guided

Visitors explore independently using Past Paths, allowing them to move at their own pace while discovering the stories behind each place.

Our Process
