I am a qualified Cumbria Blue Badge Tourist Guide, a member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding, the Driver-Guides Association and the British Guild of Tourist Guides.

Having lived in Cumbria for 30 years, I know the Lake District, Cumbria and the surrounding region intimately. It is a place I care deeply about, and I enjoy helping visitors discover not only the well-known highlights, but also the quieter corners and lesser-known stories that bring the landscape to life.

I have also appeared on national television and local radio, sharing my enthusiasm for this remarkable region.

From fells and lakes to towns, villages, historic houses, churches and museums, the Lake District offers a rich blend of history, geology, literature and human stories. My aim is to bring these strands together in a way that is engaging, informative and tailored to your interests.

Whether you are looking for a classic Lake District day, a deeper exploration of Cumbria’s history, or a carefully planned tour through the wider North, I will help shape the day around you.
