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.

The World Heritage site of Stonehenge is one of the Worlds most iconic places to visit. The stones themselves have been standing for 4, 500 years and are totally unique. Why was it built, who built it and how did the stones get here? The tour will address these questions and give some background to the history of the site and how it developed over 10, 000 years.
The Tour will start at the Stonehenge Visitor Centre where an audio visual display will set the scene and place the stones in their context in the landscape. A shuttle bus will take us for the short journey to the stones themselves. As we walk around the Stone Circle, the various stages of construction of the site will be explained alongside its position in the wider landscape. There will of course be plenty of opportunities for photo stops. Returning to the Visitor Centre via the shuttle bus there will time to re-visit the Exhibition or seek refreshments in the cafe.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
