Bodiam Dig: Landscape archaeology tour

- Booking essential
On this after-hours guided tour, landscape archaeologist Dr Al Oswald will show how you can read the world around you to make your own discoveries. As you are walk around the parkland of Bodiam Castle, see the archaeology visible right on the castle’s doorsteps.
