Biographie
Bore Da/' Mornin' ou Pnawn Da/afternoon ! Originaire du West Country, j'ai déménagé au Pays de Galles il y a 40 ans et je n'ai jamais regardé en arrière. J'aime mon pays d'adoption et j'y ai élevé deux enfants qui parlent gallois.
Je travaille comme guide et organisatrice de voyages depuis 25 ans, m'occupant de toutes sortes de personnes et de groupes. J'aime faire découvrir le pays de Galles et le West Country à tous les types de visiteurs, des universitaires aux randonneurs. Je viens d'un milieu rural et j'ai passé 25 ans à travailler comme accompagnateur en montagne qualifié. J'adore donc faire des excursions dans la campagne, que ce soit en autocar ou à pied. Mais j'ai aussi un diplôme d'histoire et j'ai travaillé pour Cadw, Visit Wales et des conseils locaux en interprétant des sites historiques locaux et en planifiant des itinéraires de manière à ce qu'ils soient précis mais amusants !
Being self-employed for many years, I have worked on many events and projects so with me you get the mixture of a lot of experience but flexibility and the belief that the clients’ brief counts! I project-managed the official opening of the Wales Coast Path, written copy for websites and printed literature on heritage sites and have planned and led many press trips and tour operator visits but my first love is guiding individuals or groups both for a few hours or for over a week. Book me and your group will go away knowing more about Wales and the South West of England than when they arrived but also feeling cohesive, happy and entertained with good memories of your company.
When lockdown happened and my international clients ceased, I spent the time researching and sewing an authentic Welsh lady costume and researching a story town tour “A Trail with Tales from a lady of Wales” of my home town, I also developed a food tour or this gourmet-lovers town and of course tours of the World Heritage Conwy Castle and town walks. I also have been running hikes to local prehistory sites.
Il existe un mot gallois pour dire adieu, mais par ici, nous disons simplement ta ta - à bientôt !
Intérêts
Agriculture et élevage
I can arrange visits to a hill farm to watch the sheepdogs work, try shearing a sheep or feeding calves
Littoral
With much of Wales' magnificent coastline away from roads the best place to see it is a hike along a beach or cliff
Campagne
Learn why farmers make stripes in grass fields or the sheep have coloured markings
Jardins et demeures seigneuriales
Visit world-class gardens, National Trust properties with a guide who'll show you the quirky and undiscovered bits
Géographie et géologie
A People are formed from their landscape and in turn this is shaped by the underlying rocks and Wales has such a variety of geology from the oldest rocks in the world sticking up from pastures and lakes to the fascinating coal measures or slate beds and learn the stories about the workers that lived off them
Histoire et préhistoire
Walk through the hills along ancient tracks to standing stone circles, inside burial chambers or admire the view from a medieval indigenous castle as an experienced and qualified guide peoples them with fold from the past
Patrimoine industriel
Be led through the eerie inclines, railways and workers cottages of the past as we hear about how folk are still making a living from these industrial sites with modern industries such as adventure tourism or art
Nature et faune
Embedded in the locality I can take you along beach, cliff, farmland, lake or Celtic rainforest and point out the wealth of flora and fauna both indigenous or introduced from tiny lichen to the wild ponies and goats
