Immerse yourself in the Neolithic – life, death, art and architecture.

September 12 @ 13:00 - 16:00

A walk with Odile Rouard, organised by Orkney Time Travel

An immersive journey into the Neolithic world. Enjoy a nature walk on Wideford Hill, just outside Kirkwall, where sweeping views stretch across the Bay of Firth and the surrounding hills and valleys. Along the way, your accompanying archaeologist guide will bring the landscape to life, describing how people lived here five thousand years ago—how they built their homes, cooked, farmed, crafted, and thrived.

At our destination, you will enter the remarkable Wideford Hill cairn, a 5,000‑year‑old Neolithic burial chamber. Inside, you will explore the contrasts and connections between the architecture of houses for the living and the monumental mounds created for the ancestors. Those with a keen eye may even spot original Neolithic carvings hidden among later Victorian graffiti.

Places are limited and tickets must be booked in advance.
