Owen Bowles

I am a retired aerospace executive with extensive international experience, including many years working overseas, particularly in France. I have been a Blue Badge Tourist Guide since 2019 for the Heart of England and have subsequently qualified to guide in South Central England, Windsor, and Wells (city and cathedral). I am fluent in French and certified by the Institute of Tourist Guiding to conduct tours in both English and French. I currently conduct tours of the Cotswolds, the awe-inspiring prehistoric sites of Stonehenge and Avebury, and the beautiful ‘Jurassic Coast’ in Dorset, where you can see exposed rocks from the entirety of the Mesozoic geological era – 185 million years of geology exposed in just 95 miles of coastline. I have published audio walking tours on the Voicemap app of Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Shrewsbury, Cirencester, Ludlow, and Wells. My particular interests are history, prehistory, folklore, architecture, food and drink, amusing anecdotes and rugby.
