Lydia joined the team in September 2017. Originally from London, Lydia moved to the West Country to pursue a degree in Italian at the University of Bristol in 2012. She then continued her studies with an MPhil before embarking on a career in tourism. She has a keen interest in the outdoors and enjoys running and hiking in her spare time. With her linguistic background, Lydia is primarily responsible for our Italian portfolio, but her enthusiasm for travelling has enabled her to explore many other Heritage destinations over the years.
