Welcome to my profile on ToursByLocals. My name is Cheryl and I am a Blue Badge Tour guide in the Southwest of England. This is the highest level of qualification for Tourist Guides in the UK issued by the Institute of Tourism. My area of expertise covers all the way from Cornwall, along the Jurassic Coast, across to the New Forest and up through the Cotswolds. It is an area steeped in myth and legend, rich in history and it is my pleasure to take you round this wonderful part of the country. There are prehistoric landscapes, ruined castles and glorious gardens. There are stately homes, cathedrals and churches. Every site has a story and I love to bring these sites to life for you. So come along and be bowled over by beautiful Bath, my home town, be captivated by the Cotswolds or enjoy the mystery of prehistoric sites such as Stonehenge and Avebury. My tours are well researched, full of fact and entertaining as well as being tailored to suit your schedules and requirements. So whatever your interests be it pagans, poets or painters; royals, Romans or rebels, I have a tour for you! Walking tours are an excellent way to get to know a city. Every town has its stories and a guided tour will fill the streets with life. Why not visit Bath and meet the great the good and the not so great and good. If you want to go further afield I can arrange private executive class transport for you and join you as the guide. Cross Salisbury Plain to Stonehenge to meet the ancestors. Take a trip through the Cotswolds for pretty chocolate box villages, rolling hills and lush valleys. We can get to some out of the way spots and leave the crowds behind.

Overview of your Bristol tour
What have John Wesley Methodist Preacher, Blackbeard the Pirate and John Cabot the first European to discover the coast of North America all got in Common? The answer is Bristol, and you can meet them all on a walk round the harbour and centre of the city. For nearly 800 years Bristol was a major port. It was second only to London and explorers, merchants and privateers set sail from here in search of fame and fortune, returning with untold wealth to build a city with both a glittering and dark past. Come along with me to get the low down on both sides, to discover the hidden back streets among cutting edge architecture and on the way we can spot some amazing street art including a Banksy or two. For me Bristol has a special energy past and present and has never ceased to be in the vanguard - first UK city to be awarded European Green Capital and then named UKs most environmentally friendly city. Let me introduce you to this amazing place.
