I first fell in love with the Lake District when I came as a young boy to be amazed by its views, lakes, fells, history and people. I was able to realise my dream of living and working in Cumbria and the Lake District. It is an endlessly fascinating place. Wherever you are based whilst visiting this area, I can find something to entertain you and add to the enjoyment of your visit.
See stunning natural beauty, dramatic scenery, iconic views and scenic lakes.
Encounter our amazing Literary Heritage, William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, to name just a few.
Step back in time with ancient pre-historic sites
Be enlightened with ruined Abbeys and preserved Priories
Hear and see about our turbulent history, with our many castles defensive towers as well as UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hadrian's Wall
Uncover charming villages and towns

Enjoy our unique Food and Drink, so much to enjoy
Dig into Cumbria's pioneering place in Industrial History
These are just a few of the many reasons to have me as your guide when you visit Cumbria and the Lake District.
