It would be impossible to limit a visit to Glastonbury to a single place. The famous Glastonbury Tor overlooks the town: follow in the footsteps of centuries of pilgrims by climbing to the top and enjoying the fantastic views over the Somerset Levels. In the town are the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, a place which combines history and legend and regularly hosts events including a ‘Medieval Fayre’. The town itself has many shops, cafes and restaurants to explore.
Since Medieval times, the abbey has held legendary status as the earliest Christian foundation in Britain linked to Joseph of Arimathea and the burial place of King Arthur. Today it is a tranquil setting where you can discover the stories, explore the 36 acres of grounds and enjoy a range of events and activities.
