Shrouded in Arthurian myth and rich in mystical association, the town of Glastonbury was once one of the most important destinations for pilgrims in England. Now, thousands flock here for the annual music festival and for the summer solstice on Midsummer's Day.
Over the years history and legend have become intertwined and the monks who founded Glastonbury Abbey, found it profitable to encourage the association between Glastonbury and the mythical "Blessed Isle" known as Avalon - alleged to be the last resting place of King Arthur and the Holy Grail. |
