Introduction:
I am an enthusiastic Blue Badge Guide with over 20 years experience and enjoy meeting groups large or small. Tours can be tailored to your own requirements and can be on a range of subjects in Essex and Suffolk from Constable Country to Coast, Castles, Countryside, Gardens, Essex/Suffolk Villages or even a "horrible" history. I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm for this fascinating region with you on a coach or walking tour.
Since qualifying as a Blue Badge Guide in 1998 I am delighted to have gained endorsements in the 2012 Venues, Windsor Castle and Eton, and in 2010 I became a City of London Green Badge Guide.
