Glastonbury Abbey

A hidden jewel in the heart of Somerset, Glastonbury Abbey is traditionally associated with the earliest days of Christianity in Britain and figures such as Joseph of Arimathea, St Patrick and St David. It is also the resting place for the legendary King Arthur.
Set in 36 acres of parkland in the middle of the town, the histories, mysteries and myths of Glastonbury Abbey define it as a place of extraordinary spiritual significance.
Open 364 days a year, welcoming dogs on short leads, with summer café, costumed guides, accredited museum and gift shop.
Events held all year - check the website for further information.
