Eleanor Whitticombe
I have been lucky enough to travel to many places, from the USA to Dubai to Thailand. I have lived and worked in the beautiful Canadian Rockies. Eventually the draw of the coast and home, Pembrokeshire, became too much and I am so grateful to be back in this beautiful part of Wales and to be part of Routescape. With two children in tow I find myself going on more adventures closer to home within the UK and I can’t wait to share my experiences with you whilst helping put together your exciting, memorable trip.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I create exceptional journeys across Great Britain, Ireland and France. Every trip I make is unique to you and your interests. I deliver authentic luxury travel experiences to really connect you to the places you visit. With a focus on food, landscapes, culture, heritage and history."
How did you get involved in travel?
"One of my fondest travel memories as a child was a holiday to Cornwall, and in particular the incredible seafood restaurants we dined at, which really made the overall holiday one I will never forget. These first travel experiences undoubtedly shaped my future and led me to pursue a career within this industry that I have so much enthusiasm for. I went on to study International Tourism Management at the University of Plymouth in beautiful Devon. I loved my time studying and living in the south west of England and it still holds a special place in my heart. Its history-enriched coastline and characterful harbour villages are a must see on any trip to the UK. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I will never forget one warm Summer's day I spent in the spectacular Swiss Alps. We spent the morning mountain biking, stopping for a lunchtime picnic which was spread out ready for us on blanket with endless panoramic mountain views surrounding us. Rather than getting back on our bikes, we took a tandem paragliding flight back down to the village - essentially running off the side of the mountain strapped to a big parachute! It was an exhilarating, unique experience that still gives me butterflies when I think about it. "

We went to Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery on the second day before enjoying our Chelsea game. They... Read more

Of course the Lydon Arms was a treasure but Hotel DeTour,Georgian House, the Bird and... Read more
