Overview

Your local guide, Matt, will lead a gentle, meandering walk around Glastonbury's countryside, taking in spectacular views and natural beauty while orientating to the town’s main attractions. A Tor climb and visit to the springs are included.

You will discover local attractions, idyllic spots off the beaten track, and meet some of the oldest and largest trees in the area.

The walk includes readings of seasonal nature poetry and a short acoustic performance of gentle folk music. A Tor climb can be included—a great way to finish by looking down on the routes travelled, landmarks, and Avalon's farthest horizons.
