David Haw ... Personal Walking Tour. - Fabulous local accent (bonus) Exceptionally knowledgeable with infused humour. Adapted content to suit participant's. Asked how much distance participant's were happy to cover. Very respectful. The tour is free. You pay whatever figure you feel is appropriate. Travels all the way from Leeds on bus or train. David is self employed. Only book a tour if you are definitely going to turn up.
