What Geography topics are available? 

From the architecture of great ports and cities across the globe, to climate change and the severe impacts it’s having on people and their communities, join one of our Geography courses and explore how the world works, and how humans, plants and animals have adapted to live within it.  

There are courses on the beautiful British countryside, as well as landscapes including deserts, forests and arctic wildernesses that dominate far-flung continents and exotic locations. Farming and how to develop more resilient ecosystems regularly feature high on the agenda, whilst natural resources and the race against time to protect them is also featured throughout the year.

Humanities: Trig point Charlie (a light hearted look at why we have concrete blocks on hill tops)

This talk is of particular interest to people who have come across Trig Points on their walks and are curious to find out more about how they came to be there. We will cover some of the quirky stories relating to early map-making and then explore some even more quirky stories about the way that triangulation was introduced to Britain.
