Dr Barry
Barry is our “Renaissance man.” Nine degrees. Microbiologist – he was in the front lines against Coronavirus. He’s a Consultant Public Health Physician. He’s an Art Historian. He’s a professionally qualified Blue Badge Guide. Have a listen to his Meet Your Guide interview – you’ll come away edified, lost in admiration and pleased. What a life, what a career, what a man!
