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.

The alternative view of Glastonbury - A great walk that wonderfully combines information about some of Glastonbury’s best trees with beautifully chosen poetry and music. Step off the normal town tourist trail and tune into nature instead, you won’t regret it.

The magical life of trees - We had a lovely time walking through the trees with Matt. He has a profound love, respect and connection with nature and trees and he is so gentle and caring towards them. He really understands the trees life and he shared with us his knowledge and very beautiful stories and facts about the landscape and the area of Glastonbury and he took us to wonderful places that we never would have found on our own. Thank you Matt for your vision, your poetry and your songs. We will back for sure for the "walk with the owls"! Carla, Ivana e Camilla

A great way to experience Glastonbury - This tour was beyond my expectations. Having gone to Glastonbury in part to see a particular tree, Matt was able to take me there. While there, he played guitar, sang beautiful songs and we sang a little together. It was a very moving experience for me. Matt provided a lot of history of the town in addition to discussing particular trees. I enjoyed that it was a walking tour and very interactive. Highly recommend!
