Our History Underfoot explores forgotten places, old railways, canals, and historic infrastructure through walking and outdoor exploration.
These videos focus on the history we still walk over every day — often hidden in plain sight beneath our feet. From abandoned railway lines and lost stations to reservoirs, bridges, and industrial remains, each walk uncovers how the past continues to shape the landscapes around us.
This channel was previously known as Trekking Exploration. The name has changed to better reflect the shared history, slower pace, and place-based storytelling that now defines the channel.
New videos document Britain’s overlooked and disappearing past — one walk at a time.

Have you ever walked the Lichfield to Walsall Railway?
There are some fantastic developments protecting this former railway - Back The Track are hard at work volunteering to create a beautful nature corridor along this former railway.
Be sure to give Back The Track a follow on Facebook :)

My recent Stanton Gate video was something different for me and this Channel - did you enjoy it and would you like to see more videos like this?
I do have a few more ideas I'd like to have a go at.
If you have not seen it yet - please have a watch when you get a moment and let me know 😊😊
