Just a heads up that due to the weather I will be cancelling Saturday's ghost tour. Several people already wanted to cancel. No fun in the rain.
Thank you everyone, I hope its not to much of an inconvenience.
New dates will be announced shortly.

A huge meur ras bras to everyone who joined me for tonight’s Charlestown Ghost Tour! 👻
What a wonderful group you were! The 90 minutes absolutely flew by as we wandered through the darker side of Charlestown’s past, sharing tales of restless spirits, ghostly encounters, poltergeists and shipwrecked mariners.
There's something rather special about Charlestown after dark, when the streets grow quiet and the stories of centuries gone by seem to come alive.
Thank you all for your wonderful company, laughter and enthusiasm. It's evenings like this that make what I do such a pleasure!
Our next ghostly gathering is Saturday 24th October at 6.30 pm. 👻
Fancy discovering Charlestown's darker side? Come along... if you dare! 💀

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined me on Friday night for the Charlestown Village Ghost Tour! We had a fantastic evening sharing some of Charlestown’s darker tales, and receiving three lovely reviews afterwards really meant a lot — thank you for taking the time to leave them.
If you missed it, don’t worry… the ghosts will be waiting! 👻 Join us Saturday 17th October at 6.30pm for another atmospheric evening of ghosts, poltergeists and tales of shipwrecked mariners around historic Charlestown.

After a busy weekend celebrating all things Cornish, ’tis back to work!
On Tuesday morning, I’ll be leading a two-hour guided walk around Charlestown village, exploring its history and heritage. If you’d like to join me, please meet at Charlestown Church at 10.20am.
Then on Wednesday evening, I’ll be at Lanhydrock Memorial Hall, giving an illustrated talk to the Bodmin Gaolbirds on The History of Charlestown.
A busy few days ahead — but always a pleasure to be out and about sharing Cornwall’s fascinating history.

I've been down west to Botallack Mine, Marazion and Falmouth, giving my guests some Cornish history, culture and customs on behalf of Cornwall Discovered.
They absolutely loved it, fantastic weather and breathtaking scenery.
This is a job made in heaven for me, Kernow bys vyken!

I'm truly touched by the kindness of everyone, and I'm grateful to all the wonderful Tripadvisor reviews I've received once again. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who takes the time to leave a review — it really means the world to me!

I've been up Delabole Methodist Church this evening to present my History of the Eddystone Lighthouses. I think everyone enjoyed my presentation. I hope they raised a little bit towards the new roof fund.
