Did you know that there’s an enchanted forest just over the river from Bristol? A forest that seems to get bigger and bigger the further you walk into it. A cathedral of ancient trees; a hall of echoes for Celts, giants and ghosts; a haven for wildlife and species so rare they exist nowhere else on Earth. A place where nature reigns and rewards all who dare to explore the realm between canopy and crag.
Join James on a guided walk through the heart of the woods, just a stone’s throw from Bristol city centre. There will be stories, poetry, and plenty of opportunities to connect with the trees and let nature work its magic. You’ll learn all about one of Bristol’s green gems, while practicing nature awareness techniques to soothe the mind, revitalise the body and refresh the spirit.
