Description

Discover Leigh Woods: 500 acres of enchanted ancient woodland with over 2,000 years of history and legend.

With James as your guide, embark on an adventure blending history, storytelling and nature connection.

Explore the hillfort home of a nature-worshipping Celtic tribe, and the secret communities who still lived in the woods 50 years ago.

Beneath the forest lies a vast treasure trove of crystals – could that explain the mysterious tales of spirits and ghosts roaming the trees?

An important site for biodiversity, with hundreds of truly ancient trees, as well as rare plants and wildlife – including peregrine falcons!

Together we’ll journey into the deep woods and experience the benefits that the woodland has to offer.

Suitable for all ages and experience levels.
