Biografia
Bore Da/' Mornin' o Pnawn Da/afternoon! Originaria della West Country, mi sono trasferita in Galles 40 anni fa e non mi sono mai guardata indietro. Amo il mio paese d'adozione e ho cresciuto qui due bambini di lingua gallese.
Lavoro come guida e tour manager da 25 anni, occupandomi di ogni tipo di persona e gruppo. Amo mostrare il Galles e la West Country a tutti i tipi di visitatori, dagli accademici agli escursionisti. Provengo da un ambiente rurale e ho lavorato per 25 anni come guida alpina qualificata, quindi amo fare tour in campagna, sia in pullman che a piedi. Ma ho anche una laurea in storia e ho lavorato per Cadw, Visit Wales e i consigli locali interpretando siti storici locali e pianificando itinerari in modo che siano accurati ma divertenti!
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.
C'è una parola gallese elegante per dire addio, ma da queste parti diciamo semplicemente ta ta ta - ci vediamo presto!
Interessi
Agricoltura e allevamento
I can arrange visits to a hill farm to watch the sheepdogs work, try shearing a sheep or feeding calves
Costa
With much of Wales' magnificent coastline away from roads the best place to see it is a hike along a beach or cliff
Campagna
Learn why farmers make stripes in grass fields or the sheep have coloured markings
Giardini e dimore signorili
Visit world-class gardens, National Trust properties with a guide who'll show you the quirky and undiscovered bits
Geografia e geologia
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
Storia e preistoria
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
Patrimonio industriale
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
Natura e fauna selvatica
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
