Mark Cummings

Mark is a multiple award-winning BBC radio presenter, journalist and writer and has been broadcasting for over 40 years. He’s presented several “West Country” travel series for BBC Points West and writes a monthly column for Cotswold Life magazine. Mark's wry observations of the what really goes on behind the chocolate box image of the Cotswolds have been enjoyed by readers for over twenty years. His first book Glorious Gloucestershire is a love letter to the county and a travel guide that reaches deep into the soul of the people, traditions and landscape that make this area so special. Mark's appearances at The Cheltenham Literature Festival and The Gloucester History Festival were sold out events. Having travelled extensively as a backpacker, now as an empty nester, he writes travel pieces that have been widely published.
