Chichester, Goodwood, The Cathedral, South Downs, Coastal Villages and West Sussex - Immerse yourself in History, Culture, Art and Nature
As a professional tour guide and history graduate, I am passionate about bringing the past alive. Drawing upon my extensive knowledge and love of the area, I present a series of walks, talks and tours which are fun and sociable as well as being enlightening. Who really enjoys exploring and learning using a phone app or struggling to read tiny print in a leaflet? Contact me to find out about my public tour schedule. Or maybe you'd like me to arrange a bespoke tour or talk for a group of you. Click on the tabs above to view my wide range of walking tours and talks - something to interest everyone. I look forward to meeting you sometime soon!
The most recent entries in my journal are shown below - I try to it keep up to date - recording visits to interesting places, exhibitions, books and articles I've read, plus details of bespoke tours and talks arranged for special interest groups. You will notice that sometimes I do stray beyond the border of Sussex!
