TRAVEL JOURNALIST
I've written about travel and holidays since the late 1980s for numerous newspapers and magazines.
I am a long-standing contributor to the travel section of The Daily Telegraph. I am the resident travel expert for the Telegraph on Bath, writing reviews of the best places to stay, eat and drink in the city, as well as cover sightseeing and things to do.
I also provide expert coverage of the Caribbean for The Telegraph, especially of Barbados, St Lucia and Grenada, and have written articles on many other topics, including consumer advice, hotels and cruises.
An archive of my Telegraph articles can be found here.
Recent articles on Bath, the West Country and tour guiding include:

I have also written many articles for other national newspapers. For many years I was one of the main contributors to the travel section of the Mail on Sunday, providing advice in The Crafty Traveller consumer column: you can find hundreds of my articles here.
