About the author:
Sue Cullimore is a retired university lecturer who has lived in Bristol since 1986. Born and brought up on Tyneside, she studied geography at Oxford University. She went on to teach in schools and further education colleges in the West Country, before working in teacher education, first at Cardiff University and then as a senior lecturer at the University of the West of England in Bristol.
During her earlier geography and geology teaching career she led many field trips, which she always loved. After she retired, her enthusiasm for walking, wildlife, landscapes and local history led naturally to the idea of researching and writing about walks in Bristol’s beautiful green spaces. Finding and sharing interesting things to see and do, sometimes in unexpected places, is one of her favourite activities.
Sue is a volunteer with the Avon Gorge and Downs Wildlife Project on their programme of environmental education events for children and adults. She goes birdwatching as often as she can with Bristol Ornithological Club, and takes part in many ecology and natural history trips and events.
She wrote the ‘How to research the people who lived in your house’ sections of her partner Peter Cullimore’s book Saints, Crooks and Slavers, published by Bristol Books in 2020. She is also the co-author, with her late father Tom Walker, of Hobthrush, a novel set in 1980s Cold War Northumberland and published by Sacristy Press in 2026.
