I established Monty’s Guide in 2022 to help people just like you to bring together the wonderful attractions across the heritage, landscape and cultural sectors.  My aim is to provide honest, trustworthy and authoritative information (and opinions), and draw upon my own experiences working with the National Trust, private museums & collections.
