I’m Paula, I have a BA (Hons) in. Arts & Humanities and I have a lifelong interest in history, archaeology, nature and walking in the countryside.
Over the years I’ve walked hundreds of miles, mostly in the north of England - in the Yorkshire Wolds, the North York Moors, Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and Peak District. I’ve also completed several long distance trails. I have a popular online blog, following my adventures and have had walks and photographs published in national walking magazines.
I’m a semi-professional photographer and have had my images published in magazines and books, on websites, on TV and even in a Hollywood movie. It goes without saying, therefore, that my talks are all illustrated.
My talks have been well received by groups such as Probus and the U3A and I love sharing my passion for history, nature and the landscape. I have my own equipment (projector, stand, screen etc.) and can usually be ready to go at very short notice!
