A great tour, with very knowledgeable guides. I particularly liked the way that hawkers were dealt with by the guide, by showing the articles to us once we were on the bus and away from the hassle.

Meet the Host, Christopher Legrand
Christopher has spent his life in or near Dorset, enjoying the beautiful surroundings of the New Forest, Bournemouth, Poole, and the Jurassic Coast. Aside from a brief stint commuting to London, his career remained rooted in East Dorset, where he worked as a Chartered Surveyor and ran a surveying and property agency for nearly 50 years.
In 1982, he became a Justice of the Peace, serving until 1999. Moved by the plight of homeless youth during the 1980s and 90s, he founded the charity ‘HyPed’ to support them. Under his leadership, it raised over £1.5 million, opened housing, and helped more than 400 young people before merging with Bournemouth Churches Housing Association.
Christopher also founded the Gospel Voices Choir and performs in the trio ‘Spiritual Expression,’ raising funds for churches and charities. In retirement, he enjoys travel, photography, and sharing these experiences with his wife, Rosemary.
