Glastonbury: Guided Tour of Avalon with a Celtic Shaman

Glastonbury has long been tied to the legend of Avalon, and this guided walk takes you through the town's mythology with a Celtic Shaman as your storyteller. Starting beside Joseph's Holy Thorn tree, you'll hear tales of Mary Magdalene's arrival, the stories of Arthur and Merlin, and the different versions of these legends that have circulated over the centuries.

As the walk continues, your guide weaves in Faerie myths, the legend of St Michael's tower, dragon lore, and the Viking history of the nearby Somerset Levels. You'll learn about Leylines and the ancient mysteries said to run beneath this stretch of land, along with the Druid culture that existed at the time of Christ. The tour also touches on the origins of crop circles and the practice of picking runes.

The experience closes with a vision quest in the Orchard of Avalon, a quieter, more reflective moment after the storytelling. It's a walking tour built around narrative and place, so you'll be moving between sites around Glastonbury as the legends unfold rather than sitting through a lecture.
