Richard Hyde has years of experience in guiding tours throughout the North Country, and has become a respected and sought-after leader of study and museum tours. He often works with fellow Blue Badge Guide Nicola Godfrey Evans.
If you like to exercise your little grey cells while you're travelling, Richard is your man. As well as being expert in the lives and works of our famous Northern writers and poets, he can introduce you to fascinating lesser-known characters like Lady Anne Clifford – a remarkable 17th-century aristocrat whose work in the fields of charity and architectural restoration is still visible across the country. He's also a fount of knowledge about the rich monastic and ecclesiastical heritage of the northern counties and the borders.
