Glastonbury is a one of a kind town. You can at any given time of the day (though admittedly, maybe not before 10am) see a wizard and a druid having a lively discussion outside one of the many cafes.
A vibrant, tolerant and interesting town, Glastonbury is the sort of place people visit for a few days and all of a sudden realise they’ve been living there for the last ten years. Best advice is to just park the car and wander about.
Glastonbury Tor is a short walk from the centre of town, up the high street and along Chilkwell street until you get to well house lane. On the way you will pass pubs, cafe’s, the chalice well, the white spring and a myriad of tourists. It’s worth the walk as the views from the Tor are simply beautiful.
Most year’s Glastonbury Festival – which is actually held 11 miles away near the village of Pilton – draws a lot of visitors to the town and surrounding area. For many other high quality events visit the Glastonbury Abbey website at www.glastonburyabbey.com
Glastonbury Town Centre is wonderfully almost totally bereft of national chain stores making the high street a much more interesting wander than most. Add to this the abundance of alternative lifestyle shops and healing centres and be prepared for a different experience to normal. Also make time to check out the many live music venues every night of the week.
