Isabella Somerset
Bella grew up in southern England, spending much of her time exploring the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)—a protected landscape recognized for its rolling countryside, historic villages, and rich biodiversity. Her love for the outdoors was shaped by her parents—her father, a conventional farmer, and her mother, an environmental activist with an organic garden. This contrast gave her insight into the challenges British farmers face in today’s globalized markets.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in politics from Newcastle University and is passionate about food sustainability and the farm-to-fork movement. Having personally struggled with disordered eating, Bella now works to support others facing similar challenges. She is deeply engaged in conversations about food quality, nutrition and the emotional relationship people have with eating. Nature has been a constant source of healing for her, inspiring her career as a guide.
Bella leads adventures in the Cotswolds, Lake District, Snowdonia, Yorkshire, and along the Jurassic Coast. Since 2016, she has facilitated retreats as a mountain leader, yoga teacher, and Pilates instructor. She also guides yoga treks around Nepal’s Annapurna Circuit. In her free time, Bella enjoys tennis, running, yoga and cross-country skiing.
