Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain

Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain

Please join us on Tuesday 10th Nov for an evening of inspirational images from author and photographer, David R Abram.


David has spent the past eleven years capturing views of Britain’s most extraordinary prehistoric sites from above in rare, sunrise light using drones and telescopic poles. Whether Neolithic tombs in the Cotswolds, Bronze Age ceremonial sites in Snowdonia or Dorset’s spectacular hillforts and burial mounds, his images reveal forms invisible at ground level, and intriguing connections between the monuments and their varied landscapes.


Lively and rich with archaeological insight, David’s talk will cherry pick highlights from his book, the ‘Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain’ (published Thames & Hudson, with a Foreward by Professor Alice Roberts), which charts the arc of British prehistory from the end of the Ice Age to the arrival of the Romans. He’ll also be sharing previews from his current ‘Barrowlands’ project, revealing forgotten ceremonial landscapes around the county that can still be walked, in particular the extraordinary prehistoric vestiges on Hambledon Hill, which he has photographed to spectacular effect!


This is a rare opportunity to hear David speak in the Blackmore Vale – an experience that is sure to inspire visits to prehistoric sites you already know, and many you don’t.
