Overview of your Glastonbury tour:

Glastonbury, the Abbey, the Tor and the surrounding countryside did not just inspire William Blake to write Jerusalem. It's History, Heritage, Myths, Legends and Spirituality have inspired and enthralled generations of pilgrims and visitors, and festival goers…Pagan and Christian alike. This is the Avalon of King Arthur; the sacred Christian landscape of Joseph of Arimathea; the Holy Grail. Glastonbury Tor has been a visual and spiritual magnet for centuries. Take a Walk up to see the stunning view of the Land of the Summer People and its mystical geology. Hear the stories of fairy realms, the hanging of a famous Abbot, the Chalice Well, and Avalon. Tour of the site of Glastonbury Abbey, with its unique place in English history. Hear about its direct connection with the life of Christ; as the earliest Christian church in W Europe; as the richest monastery in England; and of course the burial place of King Arthur. Wander through quirky, historic Glastonbury, the town which grew up alongside the Abbey.
