New Forest National Park Tour Guide
Andrew Wheeler
Greetings. My name is Andy, and I am a Blue-badge Tourist Guide, accredited through the Institute of Tourist Guiding in London since c.2014. I live in the New Forest, a national park, famous for its wild ponies, located in Hampshire. The nearest city to me is Southampton. I conduct both walking tours and coach tours in the area known as Wessex, which includes the counties of Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Dorset, Wiltshire, Oxfordshire, West Sussex and Royal Berkshire. My most popular tours include Southampton (Titanic), the New Forest (hunting ground of the medieval kings of England), Salisbury (home to a 13th century cathedral and an original copy of the Magna Carta), Stonehenge (an ancient wonder of the world), and Winchester (home to an 11th century cathedral and King Arthur's Round Table). Join me on a tour and discover the hidden historical gems of Wessex.
