About me and my tours
Hi, I'm Jon.
When on holiday I would like to:
meet local people
find out the history
eat good food
So this is what I’m doing for my local area, taking the pressure off your decision-making by providing this experience!
Come and discover my home with me! I love history and nature, working outdoors all my life. On the tours we will discuss everything we see, along with interesting facts and information.
I have created three tours, all starting in my village, West Chiltington. We will meet at 8:30am, starting the tour, where you can either pick me up or follow me in separate vehicles to our first location. The tours will differ but my aim is to have each tour finish around 12:30pm where we will then go to a local pub.
Water is provided throughout. At the final destination we can either conclude the tour or we can visit the local pub and eat and drink together (food and drinks not included).


Extra notes:
Dog-friendly!
Bring your own vehicle
Open to personalisation of tours for specific interests
Wear sensible and weather appropriate clothes/shoes
Tours are non-political and non-religious
About transport
On the right is my ex-army Land Rover. If you choose to do a 'follow-me' tour, this is the vehicle I will be in.
Due to legal reasons, unfortunately I cannot take paying customers in the Land Rover.
However, you can pick me up in your own vehicle if you would prefer consistent live commentary!

Accessibility
Please note that due to the tours involving historic buildings, lots of walking, and navigating uneven/muddy terrain — they may not be suitable for individuals with limited mobility or certain health conditions.
Toilets are few and far between!
We encourage all participants to use their own discretion when deciding if the tour is appropriate for them. If you have any questions about accessibility, do not hesitate to contact us.
