This article presents a unique amalgam across artistic research and rural sociology. We draw on a collaborative art residence programme between a University and an arts organisation in England, which invited an artist to respond to a highly contentious topic in rural England: housing development. The ambition for the residency was, firstly, to provide new perspectives on rural housing research, and, secondly, to provide a space for engagement between the local community, planners and academics. Through our interdisciplinary collaboration, we explore how Sander Van Raemdonck's artistic process worked towards these ambitions. The artistic practice involved a walk with the local community, a peripatos, in a post-industrial site proposed for housing development. Drawing on the artistic practice, the interdisciplinary team developed then a second walk, a 'walkshop', to mediate between housing/planning experts and reflect on the experience of the artistic practice. Following those artists and social scientists that already utilise walking as a method, we argue that the artistic peripatos can support a multi-sensory way of communicating, a way to get 'under the skin of a place'. More critically, we argue that artist in residence programmes provide rich opportunity to develop interdisciplinary research with artists
