Introduction:
I have over 20 years experience leading and guiding groups around the world on educational, cultural and historical tours across Europe and worldwide but my first love is the the South West of England.
Born and bred in Dorset, for many years have explored it’s rural charm on foot and by bike – I am a keen cyclist and walker - so have a great passion in showing visitors the outstanding landscapes including the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast with its famous fossils & geology, breathtaking views and gentle walks through quaint villages, charming thatched-roofed pubs and hidden coves where smugglers used bring in their contraband.
It is with the greatest pleasure that I invite you to take a tour of this very special region of England and especially my home county of Dorset – the land and it’s people, steeped in a rich and ancient history immortalised by the great writer Thomas Hardy.
Bespoke and tailor-made tours: Dorset and the South West has a great deal to offer – if you would like your own tour we can arrange to suit your needs and preferences.
I am also an accredited guide for Windsor Castle and Eton.
