The Wye Valley Tour

Celebrating 250 years since William Gilpin’s publishing of the world’s first tour guide, “Observations on the River Wye”. This film show follows in Gilpin’s footsteps through some of the most picturesque and inspiring landscapes the country has to offer.

The show starts at the source of the Wye, high in the Cambrian mountains, then follows the river to Hay-on-Wye, Hereford, and Ross-on-Wye; where we begin this picturesque tour.

We follow the river to one of Gilpin’s grand views, Goodrich Castle, to the historic wharf at Lydbrook, the majestic loop of the river at Symonds Yat, and ending the first part of the tour at Monmouth, just as the early tourists would have done. From Monmouth we accompany Gilpin on a popular excursion to Raglan Castle.

In the second half the film continues to follow the river south, passing Redbrook, Llandogo and Brockweir. As the majestic ruin of Tintern Abbey comes into view we hear how it sparked the imagination of the early tourists.

Continuing towards Chepstow we pass Piercefield, visiting some of its viewpoints created for tourists in the 1700s. At Chepstow we visit the Castle before joining the Severn at Beachley.

Gloucestershire in Bloom

A feast for the senses as we travel through Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds, visiting some of the finest gardens and floral displays this region has to offer.

A417; The Missing Link

Currently the largest road construction project in the UK, we visit the project aiming to finally build the Missing Link in this vital road, removing the infamous bottleneck and traffic blackspot at the Air Balloon roundabout.

This show includes an overview of the project, a tribute to the Air Balloon pub, and interviews with experts; all accompanied with fascinating aerial footage of the works to date.

Aerial Journey through the Cotswolds

Chipping Campden to Painswick: A mostly aerial tour through the seasons along the Cotswold Way. Taking in historical sights such as Broadway, Stanton, Stanway, Hailes Abbey, Belas Knap, Cleeve Hill, Painswick Beacon and Rococo Gardens.

Events and Traditions

Gloucestershire hosts interesting and unusual traditions. In this show a selection of events are covered, which include (amongst others) Gloucester Tall Ships festival, Dragon Boat racing, Sheep Racing, and the famous Cheese Rolling!

Gloucester Cathedral

The jewel in our City’s crown. In this show we learn about the history of the Abbey of St Peter, including the stained glass, Royal connections, and the iconic tower.

The film show includes an optional display of large printed photographs.

This show is a visitors perspective, it’s not affiliated with the cathedral.

Views of Gloucestershire and Beyond

A show of my best clips from the past 7 years. I tailor it differently to each group, trying to fit in something local. The show ends in a guessing game; guess the place by the view from the air.

Accompanied by an optional print display.
