Ian Newman has been a partner in long-established tour company, Footpath Holidays since 1992. Since 1997 we have been providing programmes with a large heritage component for a number of the best-known operators worldwide. The logical 'next step' was for Ian to train for the very highest guiding award available in the United Kingdom - the Blue Badge. Ian was born and raised in the south west of England and has family and work connections all over the region.

With the arrival of the 'Blue Badge', and with the increased variety of requests we are now receiving we decided to launch Britain's Best Heritage Tours. Footpath Holidays has an enviable reputation for quality and friendliness. BBH Tours is no different. 

Heather Newman , is a Blue Badge Guide for 'South Central England' and the 'Heart of England' and has extended our range to include Winchester, Portsmouth,Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick. Heather is also a partner in Footpath Holidays. Born in Salisbury and raised a few miles from Stonehenge and having attended university in the very heart of England, Heather has a deep knowledge and great empathy with both of her areas.
