Ellen Outram – Blue Badge Tourist Guide
Let me introduce you to the Peak District – this fascinating area in the centre of the England, picked as the country’s first National Park way back in 1951. The Peak District is full of wonderful places to visit – with small picturesque villages and bustling market towns scattered across a scenic landscape well worthy of its National Park status. Whether it be joining me on a guided walk in one of those fascinating villages or towns or bringing a coach tour throughout the area let me make it come alive with the wonderful background stories and anecdotes to match the stunning scenery. Or if you can’t visit the area this time allow me to bring it to you in the form of illustrated talks, with a lively commentary, giving you the chance to see why we have so much to shout about!
Random Derbyshire snippets…
In the ‘Cathedral of the Peak’ at Tideswell you can see intricate carvings, in both stone and wood made by over three generations of the Hunstone family of Tideswell. If put together they are said to cover over four miles.
Hello, I’m Ellen, and I am proud to say I am passionate about the Peak District area, where I have lived and worked all of my life. I have had the pleasure of showing many people around the area and can honestly say they are never disappointed. From journalists to film crews, coach passengers to evening talks, opening the door to this special area is always a delightful pleasure.
