Hi. I’m Gavin and welcome to my website; Gavin’s Tours.

I’ve been rambling about the hills, woods, deans and historical ditches of Southern England for over 30 years. In all four seasons.

I started Gavin’s Tours because I have a hunger for adventure. Adventure – but also steak and sausages and minted lamb bought from the farm shop, cooked on an open woodland fire.

Wild camping and cooking are my passions, and you, my adventure and steak hungry visitor are going to to experience those passions when you book one of my guided tours. Sustenance is the name of the game and I don’t just talk the talk. I walk the walk, hike the hike, fish the fish, sail the boat, climb the mountain, chop the wood, light the fire, cook the steak, carry the beans and drive the bloody Jag too*.

Between me and my trusted network of semi-experienced tour guides, we have got something for everyone. Literally everyone!** So take a look at my guided tours, get your credit card out and book your tours for this season before I change my bloody mind. Ok? Good morrow!

Reviews

Gavin’s prickly personality and unpredicatble temperament mean there’s always a surprise in store, but that just adds to the charm. He knows his way round a grill just as well as he knows the South Downs! And his wood fired BBQs are legendary. I would highly recommend these tours for anyone with a love of the great outdoors, a fully charged torch and a thirst for Peroni.

This trip was simply amazing! It was my first trip with Gavin’s tours and I’ll definitely book another one as soon as I can! The tour manager Gammon was really knowledgable, showing us round the gold-plated roads and and pointed out all the local amenities! The village of Paco-loco is lovely and contains lots of important people who are apparently all much more important than you! There is a newsagent called Salmon’s selling confectionary and a Co-op too. Definitely visit the clocktower.
