Glastonbury Tor

Had to pop to Street today and on the way back I drove past the Tor. I was going to stop and walk to the top but things such as not being able to park and it chucking down with rain were enought to put me off. I know I'm a wimp!

In case you wondered:
This iconic and evocative landmark offers magnificent views of the Somerset Levels, Dorset, Wiltshire and Wales.

Steeped in history and legend, excavations at the top of the Tor have revealed the plans of two superimposed churches of St Michael, of which only a 15th-century tower remains.

Glastonbury Tor also has a grisly past. Abbot Richard Whiting was executed here in 1549 on the orders of Thomas Cromwell, the first Earl of Essex.

Glastonbury Tor is known as being one of the most spiritual sites in the country. Its pagan beliefs are still very much celebrated. It's a beautiful place to walk, unwind and relax.
