Bath Surrounding Area – Glastonbury

Glastonbury is a small market town, well known for its annual music festival (although to be more precise the festival takes place several miles away in Pilton). Along with its historic Abbey, Chalice Well, Holy Thorn Tree and its best-known landmark Glastonbury Tor, it has become a world famous spiritual centre of pilgrimage.

The Tor offers spectacular views over Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire and is well worth the climb, which isn’t too strenuous although I’d advise you wear comfortable shoes. Glastonbury’s High Street is lined with a variety of shops and cafes to rest in after your climb to the Tor!
