Aerial Heritage & Landscape Storytelling

Much of our understanding of historic places comes from how they sit within the landscape.

At AVimmerse, we use aerial filmmaking and spatial documentation as part of our immersive heritage practice. Our work helps communities, researchers, churches, and heritage organisations explore place, history, and memory from new perspectives.

This is not about spectacle or marketing footage. It is about context, scale, and connection.

AERIAL

HERITAGE

Seeing the Landscape Differently

Aerial perspectives allow us to reveal patterns, relationships, and forms that are often invisible from the ground.

Our aerial heritage work supports:

Understanding the setting and footprint of historic sites.
Revealing landscape features, boundaries, and movement.
Creating cinematic material for heritage storytelling.
Supporting interpretation, education, and engagement.

This work often forms the foundation for wider immersive projects, including films, digital trails, exhibitions, and interactive experiences.

Selected Aerial Heritage Projects

St Elphin’s Church, Warrington

Aerial documentation and cinematic storytelling exploring one of Warrington’s most significant historic buildings and its relationship with the surrounding townscape.

This work formed part of a wider heritage exploration, combining film, research, and community engagement.

Aerial Heritage: Cymru

A cinematic journey across Welsh landscapes, exploring memory, folklore, and the quiet persistence of historic places within the land.

This project focuses on atmosphere, movement, and the emotional connection between place and history.

Industrial and Civic Heritage

Aerial studies of industrial and civic sites across the north-west, supporting documentation, interpretation, and future conservation planning.

Seeing the Landscape Differently

Aerial heritage work at AVimmerse is rarely a standalone service.

It sits alongside our wider immersive heritage practice, including digital storytelling, community-led projects, educational programmes, and place-based interpretation.

If you are interested in working with us on a heritage project, aerial documentation may form part of the approach we take.
