Glastonbury Tor is a striking natural landmark that rises from the Somerset Levels above the town of Glastonbury, a few miles from the small cathedral city of Wells.

The Tor’s iconic silhouette is crowned by the ancient tower of St Michael’s Church. This natural hill, steeped in layers of rich ancient history and legend, draws thousands of visitors each year. As early as the Iron Age, settlers inhabited its slopes, and over the centuries, it has become entwined with tales of King Arthur and his mystical Isle of Avalon. The Tor’s historic significance is matched only by its spiritual allure, attracting those in search of solace and inspiration.

Visitors to Glastonbury Tor can enjoy wonderful panoramic views that stretch far across the countryside, making every step of the climb a rewarding experience. Whether you’re drawn by the site’s historical roots or its scenic beauty, your visit promises to leave lasting impressions, enriching your stay in Somerset.

Today, Glastonbury Tor remains an emblematic part of the Somerset landscape and Beanacre Barn, only 25 minutes drive away, offers an ideal base for exploring the mystical Tor and its fascinating surroundings.
