I successfully completed the Institute of Tourist Guiding North East England Blue Badge Examinations in August 2021 and am now qualified to take tours throughout the North East of England. This includes site tours of Durham Cathedral, the Laing art gallery, Great North Museum Hancock and Shipley Art Gallery and walking tours of Newcastle upon Tyne, Berwick upon Tweed and Barnard Castle. My hobbies include walking, cycling, touring and supporting Bristol Rovers. I moved to Newcastle upon Tyne in 1984 to go to University and study Mechanical Engineering, and I have stayed here ever since. In 2019, I was considering retirement from a career in Engineering and Project management and I saw an advert for the ITG Blue Badge Tourist guide course for North East England. I am passionate about everything in the North East including its industrial heritage. My special interests include Heritage, Engineering, Newcastle upon Tyne, Durham Cathedral and the Great North Museum Hancock. My aim to all travellers is give you an expression of passion for North East England and its future. ITG Blue Badge North East England I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Blackfriars, Grainger Market and City Bars, Private Walking Tour with Local Guide
Overview of your Newcastle tour
Commencing at the Blackfriars Restaurant off Stowell Street, we sample some drinks and snacks from the pairing and flights menu. Blackfriars dates back to 1239, when it was a friary for the Dominicians. For the past 25 years it has been an award winning restaurant created by Andy Hook and Chris Wadale. It's menu reflects the past with a modern twist! Next I am taking you along Stowell Street to Rosies bar where we experience the spirit of a traditional Newcastle pub. We then proceed to the heart of Newcastle and explore Grainger Town. The Grainger market sells a wide range of food that originate from the North East as well as Italian, Greek and other international delicies. The market dates back to 1835 and has been revitilised as part of the Grainger town improvements. We then walk down Grey Street to the Riverside and explore the old and modern bars that also specialise in selling a wide range of food.
