Hello and thanks for visiting.
I am a travel writer and photographer living in North Yorkshire.
I am also author of the bestselling guide book, Wild Guide North East England, a finalist for the Guide of the Year in the Travel Media Awards 2024.
My next book, Wild Swimming Walks Yorkshire, is due out on April 1st 2025 with Wild Things Publishing and is available for pre-order *
When not exploring wild places, you can find me browsing a book shop, hunting out a new café, visiting an art gallery or learning a new craft at my home in North Yorkshire, where I live with my husband David and our three sons.
* Signed copies of Wild Guide North England and Wild Swimming Walks Yorkshire are available here.
My words and photographs have appeared in The Guardian, Daily Mail, The Independent, BBC Travel, Outdoor Swimmer, Britain magazine, Yorkshire Post, Living North, Yorkshire Living and Yorkshire Life.
My books include Wild Swimming Walks Yorkshire (currently on pre-order), Wild Guide North East, both published by Wild Things Publishing and Visiting Greenwich and the Dome, published by Metro Publications.
I run Wild Swim Retreats Yorkshire with professional health and wellbeing coach, Heather Simpson. You can find out more about our retreats here.
I also host book festival and book shop events including with writers such as Julia Bradbury, Lauren Child, Paula Byrne, Susie Steiner and Rachel Hore.
