Alastair Sawday

Alastair founded Sawday's over 25 years ago, publishing our first book based on notes from his French walking tours. His passion for slow, thoughtful travel remains our guiding light. Although France was his first love, he's as at home in the Yorkshire Dales as he is in the cities of Europe. He loves great food shared in good company, places that go the extra mile to give a warm welcome and anything that gives bland corporate hotels a poke in the eye.
