    Be a tourist in your own town or another one nearby. 
    Look up some of the history of a local town or village and go visit.

    I like listed buildings so make a note of which roads have most and then go walking

    I enjoy contributing to FindAGrave. You can either go to a local cemetery and try to fulfill photo requests, or photograph and upload gravestones to the site for other people to find. It's a great way to get out walking, learn about local history, and people really appreciate the work you put in. I have some large Jewish cemeteries near me and I've taken hundreds of photos for people researching their family trees (Jewish headstones always mention the father's name, so very useful if documentation is scarce!). I've received some really lovely messages of thanks over the years.
