Your local guide, Matt, will lead a gentle meandering walk around Glastonbury's beautiful countryside, taking in spectacular views and enjoying places of outstanding natural beauty.

Your guide, Matt, a resident of Glastonbury for over 12 years, possesses keen knowledge of local trees, walking routes, and landscapes. He will talk at length about the trees while providing personal insights into the town and its surrounding countryside.

You will learn about local tourist attractions and activities, discover idyllic spots off the beaten track, and Matt will take you to meet some of the oldest and largest trees in the area.

The walk is accompanied by 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 the walk by peering down upon the routes we have just traversed.

This is an exciting opportunity to discover Avalon via the trees, guided by a local Glastonbury resident.
