I love Cumbria and want to share our fabulous county with everyone!
The Lake District National Park will always be a favourite with visitors, but there's so much more to see besides the well-known destinations, so I also enjoy helping people to discover the lesser-known gems around the periphery: the less-frequented valleys at the heart of the Lakes, the Lake District Coast, the beautiful Eden and Lune Valleys in the east of the county.
I have been a Blue Badge Tourist Guide for 27 years, and have experience in guiding visitors and locals alike, as well as school and corporate groups, journalists, familiarisation trips etc.
As a fluent German-speaker also qualified in Yorkshire, North East England and Liverpool, I guide tours in English and German by coach and in private chauffeur-driven vehicles, but also love leading walking tours through cities, towns and villages and low-level countryside walks. I have worked with many educational and visitors with disabilities.
Blue Badge Guides are accredited by the Institute of Tourist Guiding, and I have directed training courses for guides across the north of England, including the 2021-2022 Cumbria course. I have also delivered Welcome Germany training courses and am experienced in delivering training across the hospitality sector.
If you're looking for a competent, friendly guide to deliver a guided tour anywhere in Cumbria – the Lake District or Yorkshire Dales National Parks, from the Solway Firth to Morecambe Bay, and from the Irish Sea to the Pennines, please do get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
