Past Routes

Past Routes is a Hampshire-based mapping company, founded in the summer of 2022 to help bring historic works and the historic landscape to life. We make use of almost two decades spent studying and working in the world of archaeology and the historic landscape to create maps with a focus on the past, whilst also showing how it fits into the present. Each map is created with a minimum amount of interpretation and includes source information, allowing you to investigate places and themes using trusted sources. Alongside offering published maps, Past Routes can also undertake commissions and other bespoke work. This can be for publications or for specific projects. We can make use of years of experience, including submitting work to peer-reviewed journals. In fact the range of applications is broad. Heritage helps to connect communities with their localities and is a useful way to draw people to an area, although much information – of both local and regional interest – never makes it onto widely available maps. We can create tailored maps using our knowledge of a wide range of potential sources.
