Southern
|
The Southern Region covers the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
|
 |
SOUTHERN Blue Badge Tourist Guides are trained and examined in writing and practically - on foot, on site and on coaches - for their particular registration area (the area in which a Guide has been examined). |
|
Southern Blue Badge Guides are qualified to guide throughout the region. Please note that Windsor accredited guides may guide within Windsor Castle.
|
|
A visit to Southern England is unforgettable and offers so much; from the beautiful rural areas with small towns and villages, to the large historic towns, cities and ports and the delightful coastline including the newly designated ‘Jurassic Coast’. Whatever your interest, you’ll find a place for you in Southern England.
