Suffolk Guide
No matter if you are in Suffolk for the day or you are in Suffolk everyday, you will see more with a Suffolk Guide. The name Suffolk Guide reflects my wide interest and knowledge of Suffolk, not just a town here or a town there but the county of Suffolk.
I have lived and worked in Suffolk all my life. I love local history but I also love any stories and facts about Suffolk villages in any period of time. The perfect venue for all these stories is a guided tour in front of where the story takes place.
I first began by sharing my enthusiasm for Suffolk with school children. I worked in a number of locations in the county, so I built up a mental filing cabinet of stories for all of these locations.
On my tours, you get a lifetime of stories handed down about the sites that we pass and also stories found in research.. Some of these stories were from centuries ago and some of these stories were from decades ago. I won’t bother you with a story about something that’s not there. My ITG training stressed the need to talk about something that you could focus on.
I always leave you with ideas for other landmarks to explore and activities that you could do after the tour.
