Who We Are

Walking is a great way to explore an area, and to really understand how it fits together. Darren and Jill, along with Geo (their dog), have spent many days exploring and getting to know the paths, tracks and wildlife that they encounter along the way. They are always researching and learning about what they find, and seeing new things as nature and wildlife are never still.

They are both interested in finding out about the history of the area, and how humans have interacted with the landscape, and influenced what is around you. There is a rich history in this area, stretching from Neolithic man and the Romans, to the Knights Templar and modern mankind, and they try to bring this to life for you.

Britstad is a small, family-run operation based in the Fundão/ Idanha-a-Nova region of central Portugal. It is run by Darren Brito and Jill Titlestad, who both studied and worked for many years as wildlife rangers in the UK. They moved to Portugal in 2016 to enjoy a more simple and sustainable lifestyle, as well as the tranquillity and wildlife that this region of Portugal has to offer.

They both want to share their knowledge and experiences, and also learn from other people. Everyone knows something interesting, and they enjoy the exchange of knowledge and information that happens on a walk.

Come along and see what you can share….
