Top Experiences in Glastonbury

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.

Our time together begins outside the famous Glastonbury Abbey. From there, we will follow the old pilgrims path to the Scared Thorn tree of Joseph of Arimathea.  Your journey then proceeds on a mysterious path along Faerie lanes, through the Jesus field and on to the Orchards of Avalon. This is where we ask permission to enter the sacred enclosure. Then we head to the very top of the Tor itself. On the summit, your guide tells the tale of Saints, Kings and the Faerie folk who dwell there.

At the top of the Tor you are left to sit in silence for a moment to embrace the healing energy of this holy place. After that we come together in a healing ceremony, connecting in circle to share our thoughts, to say what you felt or to just BE! 

On our way down to the White Spring, the candle lit water-chapel beneath the Tor, I leave you at the the Chalice Well Gardens World heritage site.

Climb Glastonburys famous Tor from the town centre and explore the ruins of its Medieval Abbey. Another Gem of Somerset is Englands 'smallest' city, Wells! Boasting a magnificent Cathedral and picturesque setting you won't want to leave this idyllic spot.

We offer a relaxed, comfortable day trip around some of Somersets treasured landmarks. Enjoy your own private car and driver to take you between locations and cut out the rigid timings and busy bus tours! Our driver will be on hand to answer questions and give you pointers or advice on what to see at each location. However, unlike other tours, we let our guests explore each location at their own leisure!

Our driver will remain close by and be completely flexible on timing between locations. You may want to leave an area sooner or fall in Love with somewhere and want to stay a little longer. We are focused on letting our guests choose when and where they would like to visit!
