Best day of the year!! Nothing like hearing the thud of the transactions hit the door mat 😍

Red sky at night……. Looking to be a great day in Cumbria today. Where is everyone headed? #lakedistrict #lake

Who is ready to cosy down and watch the online lecture series?! Starting tonight with our vice president, Dr. Bill Shannon talking us through the history of Cumbrian maps. What a treat! #history #cumbria #lakedistrict #cartography

Fabulous society visit to mayburgh where @oxfordarchaeology.bsky.social had two visits from members this week to the dig at Mayburgh henge to see some particularly exciting new finds 🪨

Please see this event from our friends over at Uncovering Roman Carlisle! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digging-th...

The dreamy @muncastercastle.bsky.social looking splendid (as always!)

We had a fantastic society trip to the dig at Lowther. The dig this year is funded by Lowther Castle and Gardens Trust, but includes investigation of area around St Michael’s church following the CWAAS-funded geophysics there last year.

Due to the dry weather, visitors to Haweswater will be lucky enough to see the remaining walls and roads of the village. #history #mardale #lakedistrict #cumbria
