Introduction:
Let me share the History, Wildlife People and Culture of the Heart of England with you. Based in Coventry 20121 City of Culture, not only would I love to share the history and culture of this great city with you, but I can easily travel to all other parts of the region. (Staffordshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Herefordshire, West Midlands, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire & Oxfordshire)
As well as town and city trails I am an experienced countryside walks leader and have completed the nationally recognised Lowland Walks Leader Qualification and have a Silver Award through the National Navigation scheme. I offer pre-booked guided walking tours, both town & country as well as coach commentaries throughout the Heart of England. These can be general tours or tours with a theme.
My particular interests are countryside and conservation, industrial and social history and music and culture.
