Meet Jeff Emmerson

Where is your favourite pub or restaurant? The Crown in Minchinhampton, especially in the courtyard on a summers evening or The Bear in Rodborough by the log fires in the winter after a walk on Rodborough Common.

What do you love about the area? Exploring all the local artisan shops and cafes in the quaint villages.

Where is the best place to relax in the area? Taking in the views on Selsley Common and watching the paragliders.

What do you think is the best view in the area? At the top of the Painswick Beacon where you can see, on a clear day, as far as The Brecon Beacons and the Forest of Dean.

How would you spend a ‘perfect day’ in the area? Walking from my home, with the dog, through the Standish National Trust woods and ending up having lunch or dinner out.
