Locales
This section of the website contains a lot of information about various towns,
cities and villages around the United Kingdom. Most of these places have lots of
history, and quite a few have a good deal of beauty.
Most of the places in this section are in Leicestershire and Rutland, where Blue Badge Guide Colin Crosby lives, but some are in other parts of the country, in particular Essex, where he was born and lived for many years.
The thing that they all have in common is that they are all places where Colin leads Guided Walks, or are destinations for his Coach Trips, or both.
Hopefully, you will find these descriptions interesting and valuable, and will want to join Colin to find out more.
