Biography:

Living in the northeast of England, I've taught History in secondary schools for 25 years. For the past five years I've been a tour guide on Hadrian’s Wall. As a result of positive recommendations, I'm featured in Rick Steves’ travel guide to England. On Rick’s website a visitor from Arizona in 2020 said:

“Peter is both knowledgeable and charming. I learned so much in such a relaxed and pleasant way. I can highly recommend him”.

I have a 100% “excellent” set of reviews on Trip Adviser, which awarded me a Travellers’ Choice Award in 2020. I'm also a “friend” of Vindolanda. As a result of COVID-19 I've delivered talks on Zoom to u3a groups in England and Scotland, responses to which include:

“That was really interesting. I have just had some emails come in from members saying how much they enjoyed it” and

“What a fascinating talk this evening, I did enjoy it”.

I have a passion for history, and especially for Roman Britain. My depth of knowledge and ability as a communicator has fascinated visitors to the Wall and to other sites in the northeast as these reviews on Trip Adviser confirm:

“Peter was most gracious, super historian and story teller” (visitor to Durham Cathedral, December 2019).

“We had a very special day with Peter. As well as being incredibly knowledgeable, he is also a fantastic story-teller” (visitor from Leeds to Hadrian’s Wall, May 2021).
