Glastonbury Things to Do Tips by Steve-H

All you need to know about the Tor.

....is on this plaque, unfortunately you need to climb up there to read it (& I hope the picture has enough detail for you to be able to read it).
In the summer it's a nice walk, in the winter it can be hard work. Take a look at the next picture, it shows how steep the path gets st the top, add some wind and rain and it can be a miserable but rewarding slog.

Directions: It's Glastonbury Tor!!!...you can see it from miles away, you'de have to be blind to miss it.

It isn`t always this pictuesque.

In the summer months Glastonbury can get quite busy and for a small town this means congestion but in the early spring months you can almost have it all to yourselves. Here we are walking up the lanes towards the Tor, no hoardes of tourists or cars to bother us, we had the whole place to ourselves. It was well worth the effort to get pictures such as this and to enjoy the ancient Tor as it must have once been, quiet and alone with nature.

A worthwhile climb.

One of the best ways to appreciate Glastonbury is from the top of the Tor, a high hill of mythical and magical significance that along with the ruined abbey and the festival is one of the major attractions. There is an ancient and winding route winding up the Tor, rarely walked, it is mainly used for ceremonial purposes. These pictures were taken on my very first visit to the Tor some years ago and as you can see the weather wasn't at it's best. During a lucky break in the blizzard i managed to get this picture of the town.
