Offering a year-round selection of dates and routes for those not wanting to walk alone, as a taster/confidence builder or to add depth and interest to your walk. DATES AND TIMES TO SUIT YOU WHEREVER POSSIBLE - JUST ASK.

Regular walks from 1.5 to 6 miles and 1 to 4.5 hours, with discussion covering topics from history and the growth of Fowey to literary connections and identification of flora, delivered in an easy-going style. Guests’ questions are always very welcome.

Well-behaved dogs welcome, children by arrangement (this is only to ensure their comfort, safety and enjoyment - I’m very pro-walking-children!).

I will also cater for private groups touring or walking anywhere in South West England - see website for details.
