From Wikitravel

Glastonbury is a small town (9,000 inhabitants) in the English West Country county of Somerset, some 20 miles (35 km) south of Bristol.

[edit] Understand

Glastonbury is best known for the myths and legends surrounding both Glastonbury Tor, a prominent hill rising up from the surrounding flat landscape, and Glastonbury Abbey, which together have made the town a thriving centre for mystical, new-age, alternative spirituality. Glastonbury is also well known for the annual Glastonbury Festival, a summer music festival that has been likened to the equivalent of an ongoing Woodstock music festival.

[edit] Get in

You can take busses from Wells or other major cities in the area to get to Glastonbury.

[edit] Get around

There are 5 bus services in Glastonbury but you can easily get around walking through the town since it's quite small

[edit][add listing] See

• Glastonbury Tor [1] - maintained by the National Trust

• Glastonbury Abbey [2], open summer 9am-6pm, winter 10am-4.30pm, admission £4 adults, concessions available - a place of pilgrimage for thousands worldwide each year, one of the legendary burial places of King Arthur

[edit][add listing] Do

• the Glastonbury Festival [3], tel 01458 834596 (within UK) or +441458 834596 (international) - this festival is held annually at the end of June and is famous for its wide range of headlining music acts ranging from rock to (in 2004) opera. Be aware that in bad weather it is also famous for its seas of mud! Actually the festival is held near the small village of Pilton, but since Glastonbury is the nearby town and because of its new-age connections, it has lent its name to the event.

[edit][add listing] Buy

A selection of crystals, semi precious stones, incense and esoteric books are available. Most shops on the high street are not chain stores, and therefore you care guaranteed to find an unusual item. An abundance of witchcraft, pagan and goddess shops will confront you, and it's worth taking a look at at least one of them on your visit here. Of particular note is the new Gauntlet Thoroughfare, opened last year, which contains a plethora of specialist shops, this can be found at 11, The High Street.
