About Past Paths
Research-led audio interpretation for historic places.
Past Paths creates digital audio experiences for heritage organisations, helping visitors understand historic places through carefully researched, accessible storytelling.
What we do
We turn research into visitor experiences people can follow at their own pace.
Each Past Paths experience combines historical research, architectural observation and clear interpretation, designed to support heritage partners without adding pressure to staff, volunteers or existing budgets.
Visitor focused
Audio experiences are written to be easy to follow on site, with a clear route through the story.
Partner led
We work with the organisations who know their places best, so interpretation feels accurate and appropriate.
Our purpose
Making local history easier to access.
Past Paths is designed for historic sites, trusts, churches, councils and community heritage projects that want high-quality interpretation without needing to build their own app or audio platform.
Accuracy
Interpretation should be engaging, but it should also be trustworthy.
Atmosphere
The best audio experiences help visitors notice the place around them.
Access
Digital interpretation should support independent visitors and different learning styles.
Partnership
We create experiences with heritage organisations, not simply for them.
