English Heritage has advised visitors to use their five senses when visiting historical monuments to best connect to the past.
People should visit and appreciate historical sites with their senses as opposed to being"constantly overstimulated" by their phones, a charity has said., has put up signs for visitors to use their sight, smell, hearing, taste and touch when at their sites.
English Heritage historian and landscape advisor, Louise Crawley, said people are"constantly overstimulated and expected to be at the end of a phone 24/7" whereas those living in the past derived"much pleasure" from"simple sensations". On maximising sensory experiences at the sites, the historian urged visitors to"listen to the crunch of gravel underfoot" at Down House - transporting them back to what Charles Darwin would have heard on his walks around his home.
