After a career in hotel management, Liz is now part of the Classic Cottages marketing team and loves to explore both Cornwall and any beautiful far-flung corner of the British Isles, including the Outer Hebrides where she is heading later this year as part of a research expedition for the Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust.
