...Gateway Antiques...

Established 1986

We have a freelance guide-driver, southern Tourist Board trained to guide in Central Southern England. He is accredited to guide in French and also excellent Spanish and conversational in German and Italian.

Your tour of the Cotswold's will be enhanced  by an insight in to farming methods and background history of the area and you will be shown many things normally missed by our visitors.

Days out are tailored to the interests of the client . Bath  for the Roman remains and Georgian architecture, Winchester: capital of England for longer than London, for history. Bristol, Southampton  and Portsmouth for all things maritime. Art, both old master and modern, gardens, or perhaps a day shopping in London with a car at your beck and call and someone to carry your purchases?

For clients with an interest in antiques , both trade and private, our driver is particularly qualified to help. He is an ex-president of The Cotswold Antiques Association and thirty years experience in the trade can take you straight to the best place to find what you are looking for.
