Alongside my travels around the world, I am also a Shrewsbury Town Guide.
Discovering Shrewsbury
I have a real passion for sharing Shrewsbury’s heritage, character and fascinating past. I love meeting people from all walks of life and helping them discover what makes Shrewsbury such a special place.
Whether exploring historic streets, admiring iconic buildings or uncovering some of the town’s hidden corners, I enjoy bringing Shrewsbury’s past and present to life through stories, facts and local tales.
More than just history
My aim is not simply to give visitors a history lesson, but to bring Shrewsbury to life. Through a mixture of history, stories, humour, facts and local tales, I hope to make each walk informative, entertaining and enjoyable.
Every group is different, and I enjoy interacting with people, answering questions and helping visitors discover the buildings, stories and hidden details they might otherwise have missed.
