The Cotswolds is one of Britain’s most scenic areas where rolling green hills are speckled with honeystone villages. There’s a story behind every scenic site, for this area was once the heart of the English economy and its landscape is now regarded as one of the treasures of Britain.
Take a whirlwind tour of ten famous Cotswolds villages and towns. We start from Chipping Campden, in the north of the Cotswolds, and wend our way round:
- Broadway
- Stow-on-the-Wold
- Winchcombe
- Cheltenham
- Stroud
- Tetbury
- Bibury
- Northleach
- and end our trip in the ancient wool town of Burford.
Enjoy their scenery and stories - plus at each stop-off, discover a quirky fact that I guarantee will surprise you. I found many of these for my book 'Offbeat Cotswolds'.
The hour-long presentation reveals how Japan connects with a famous landmark, why a man stares into space for eternity, and how a landlocked town chose dolphins for its emblem. There are also amazing connections with sports, writers and the Houses of Parliament.

Hello! I am a qualified tour guide with a background as a teacher and children's author.
My Blue Badge tourist guide is for the Heart of England (which covers the area between Birmingham and Gloucester) and I specialise in the Cotswolds. In fact, I've written a book about its quirky sights and stories called Offbeat Cotswolds.
Publishing this book drew on my experience writing about 70 children's books, some of them stories but mainly non-fiction, for some of the UK's top publishers. I love researching information and finding fun ways to present it - something I also did in a past role as a primary school teacher.
My talks get great feedback as being entertaining and informative.
