In Peaceful Somerset

Glastonbury is most well-known for the Glastonbury Festival held each year in June. It is also known as a New Age community and it is notable for its myths and legends often relating to the Glastonbury Tor.

There are so many things to see and places to visit that we have a narrowed it down to our top 5.

The Tor is a prominent hill that overlooks the Isle of Avalon, Glastonbury and Somerset. Owned by The National Trust you are welcomed to visit the historic site and take a walk up the hill. The views are spectacular!

You can also expect to come face to face with some amazing wildlife. If you are a nature lover then you can watch out for plenty of birds, badgers, rabbits and foxes. If you are lucky you can catch a glimpse of Britains rarest butterfilies, the Large Blue.

Extravaganza

Run by Glastonbury Festival this event is a show stopper. Each year there is a famous band or two – you can see Ray Davies this year – followed by magical fireworks at the end of the evening. This event is in August and hopefully you will enjoy some sunshine. The events takes place inside Glastonbury Abbey and you should take a long something to site on as there is no seating available.
