Pyramids, pals and pioneers

See the pyramids - spectacular towers that carried the railway to Hooky. Find out which royal pal narked Henry VIII so much he came to sort him out. For pioneers, take your pick from rebel religions, treating mental illness, or Hooky’s award-winning low-carbon community. Oh, and see some sneaky staircases, a stream that was an escape from justice, plus proof that Hooky was once under the sea. A 90-minute walking tour.

I've lived in the beautiful Cotswolds for 30 years and I love sharing its stories and sights - especially Chipping Norton, my local town.

I'm a teacher turned author turned tour guide. So I've got excellent background knowledge as well as superb presentational skills.

Whether you live in the Cotswolds or are visiting for the first time, you'll discover exciting things from an insightful, enthusiastic and fully-trained Blue Badge guide for the Heart of England. This is the top qulification for tour guides in the UK.
