Course Description: Join Nadia Norman, Heritage Coordinator at Stanwick Lakes—self-confessed history geek and lover of all things historic—as she takes you on a ten-week journey through the fascinating stories of the site. From ancient settlements and Roman roads to medieval industry and modern transformations, we’ll uncover the layers of human history that have shaped this extraordinary landscape.
