Cursus Archaeology Ltd

Cursus Archaeology Ltd operates from Worcestershire, just outside Worcester, and while details about public access are thin on the ground, this is a working archaeological practice rather than a visitor attraction in the traditional sense. If you're serious about archaeology or fancy seeing how professionals actually do the work - excavation, surveying, analysis - it's worth ringing ahead to ask what's on offer.

The outfit handles everything from field surveys to full digs across the Midlands, so depending on what project they're running when you visit, you might catch an active dig or simply learn about their methods. It's not a museum or heritage site with set opening hours and a gift shop. It's the real thing, which means it either fascinates you or it doesn't.

Young people studying archaeology or geology would get far more from it than casual visitors. Families with restless kids won't find much here. Bring proper questions and genuine curiosity.

Staying at one of the caravan parks nearby - Worcester Glamping is closest at under two miles - gives you a decent base to explore the city itself while you sort out a visit. Worcester's proper interesting: the cathedral, the riverside walks, decent pubs. Ring ahead on the Cursus number if you can track it down, or try contacting them through local archaeology groups. Don't turn up expecting a formal tour.
