Wonderful, magical experience in Avalon - Walking with the Trees with Matt was a deeply grounding and soul-nourishing experience. There’s something about the way he holds space and shares his love for nature with reverence, humility, and a quiet wisdom that allowed us to truly slow down and enjoy the wonder of the trees. We loved his beautiful poetry and songs too. Would highly recommend this tour.

Informative, Interesting & Engaging! - Loved our To The Trees guided walk. Matt was very knowledgeable and engaging. The walk was not just the trees it was also about the history of the area. Highly recommend doing the tour at the beginning of your visit as he gave us some great tips on what to visit after the tour, which was an added bonus! Matt was also very flexible with scheduling too!

Dive into the magical world of trees - This tour is a deep dive into the magical world of trees. Matt enriches your knowledge not only with biological facts but also with stories about legends and the energy of trees. The way he honors trees with poems and music is truly enchanting. A must do for all tree lovers.

An Alternative View of Glastonbury - A really lovely morning walk in the company of someone who has a passion and knowledge of trees that is inspiring. Matt showed us how to identify trees in their winter forms whilst also guiding us round the scenic side of Glastonbury with poetry and music.
