As a Blue Badge Guide and an accredited member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding I have the expertise and knowledge to give you an informative and memorable introduction to this unique and special region known as Wessex. Being passionate about the English landscape and its history, both ancient and modern, I am fortunate to live in the beautiful county of Dorset as well as having a house in the magnificent medieval city of Salisbury. This region has so much to offer from the Unesco World Heritage Neolithic sites of Stonehenge and Avebury, Iron Age Hill Forts, Roman villas, Saxon towns, Norman churches and castles. The medieval cathedral city of Salisbury, Tudor halls, Georgian estates and Victorian mansions, not to forget the landscape itself. From the Unesco Jurassic Coast, through Wessex where Thomas Hardy was inspired to write his enduring novels, the Royal hunting reserve of Cranborne Chase and the rolling plains of Wiltshire. My aim is to share my enthusiasm and to give insights into the iconic buildings, places and events with which this region is so richly populated and which played such a major part in English History. . Blue Badge Tourist Guide for the South West of England - the highest professional tourist guide qualification. Member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding Member of the British Guild of Tourist Guides Salisbury City Guide Masters Degree in First World War Studies (2014) I am not a driver guide but I can either accompany you in your own vehicle or I can arrange an Executive Mini Bus and driver.

We were all surprised at all the things we would have missed in this wonderful...

    Roger is an extremely well informed articulate guide who gave us a most interesting tour of Salisbury. He completely enthralled two of our party who had thought to duck out early but he stayed all the way to the end. Knowledge was shared in stories, not long lists of facts, all of which were varied and captivating. Thank you Roger for a wonderful tour

Roger was generous with his time, and we thoroughly...

    Roger was knowledgeable about Salisbury Cathedral and the surrounding area. We would use Roger again if we returned to the area. We highly recommend him.
