Best attractions for Glastonbury in February

Besides the array of exciting events and activities Glastonbury has to offer for travelers in February, we want to remind you of the classic attractions in Glastonbury that are great to visit at this time of the year as well! You can’t miss these iconic landmarks, local favorites, and places rich with cultural heritage. We hope to give you insights and inspiration into the best things to see and do to make the most of your visit. Here is a list of our top attractions in Glastonbury for February.
Glastonbury Tor

Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Church ruins & sweeping area views are the highlights at this lush, terraced hilltop.
Slide 1 of 22
Incredible how an edifice remained standing throughout centuries, impervious to weather and the changing of kingdoms. No wonder it appeals to my mystical cord. Left the motorcycle in town and climbed the hill up to the tor - takes roughly 35 to 40’ but it’s worth the effort. The road takes you up and up through quiet fields, the silence broken by sheep bleating and birds chirping. The view from the tor is vast and very green (after all, this is England), and is good to just sit, relax and maybe embark in some meditation. A good day trip, a nice couple of hours spent walking to a somewhat ethereal place (if you like the concept behind it). Visited in the end of April, near Beltane, and could feel the atmosphere in town and near White Spring [reservoir].

Love the Tor! It’s a steep but short walk (25-35 minutes up) , lots of places to rest on the way up, the views are stunning, dogs welcome, there are normally some sheep doing sheep things, so bear that in mind if you take your pooch.
Barry Curtis — Google review
Stunning views of all around. There's a shuttle bus (fees apply) running from the town centre which is hand as you can't park very near. The walk up starts straight forward but soon gets a little tricky at the end. There are two approaches, one winding path (recommended) and a straight up path on the other side. We went on a very windy day and I've never felt wind like it - at the top I felt like I couldn't been scattered over Somerset - but there was good camaraderie between walkers! There isn't anything to do nor particularly see in itself, but the view is spectacular and it is free to visit.
Gary Fenn — Google review
Toriffic views from up there, upon the mound, which is rumoured to have been built by King Arthur's wife Guinevere in 555AD, as an elaborate plan to hide the Holy Grail.
Ed Barney — Google review
Great walk which ends with very impressive views of the surrounding countryside. The tower at the top is picturesque and a wide area around provides ample room for picnicking. Yhere is a dial on top which points out areas, directions and distances to local points of interest showing a relief to help orientate you. The walk is steep and takes about 30 mins for experienced walkers from Glastonbury. The only downside is parking is limited and expensive in the town.
Colin Owen — Google review
The climb is quiet tough but the view you get on the top is amazing
Patrick Bostoen — Google review
Stunning views are well worth the walk. Even in the rain! (I'd advise choosing a clear sunny day!)
Stuart Carter — Google review
Despite being born in Wiltshire and Somerset isn't that far away I have never gone to Glastonbury tor until today. Well worth the climb the views are amazing I'd love to know how the stone was taken up there very impressive
Adrian Lee — Google review
Lovely views and not too far to walk up (though shame there isn’t more free parking around)
matticace — Google review
If you’re interested in an panoramic incredible view and a great workout- you’ve found the right trek! It wasn’t too bad of a walk once you made it to the base of the tor (only took 15 mins to get to the top). But most start out somewhere in the city- so it took about 30-45 mins to get to the base. Once we got to the top- we loved the sunset we caught! The view from the top is worth the trek!!!! Take a bottle of water and a snack and you’re all set!
Luv2 Travel — Google review
The tower is an amazing piece of architecture. The Tor is steep to climb up but is well worth the effort and will reward you with breathtaking far ranging views over the country side. You can see why this is such a mystical and spiritual place. A must visit in Glastonbury.

What a wonderful place. The views are just out of this world amazing. Definitely well worth a visit.

What a beautiful place and a must visit when in Glastonbury. Yes it is a steep walk up but well worth it when you see the outstanding views of Somerset, and even more beautiful at sunset.
Darren Austin — Google review
Nice walk, there are two paths the one further up the road is less steep however you have to walk up the road but the one near the bottom is a bit of a climb. Beautiful views at the top. Nice for an in prompt picnic.
Chantal Maio — Google review
What a magical place, the view on top was pretty amazing!. Must visit when you are in the South West of England. #🇵🇭
Gregy Leaño — Google review
We visited at the end of December A lovely walk, well worth the climb for views. Steps 80% of the way and concrete paths. With strength and a little determination Sturdy pushchairs can make it to the top! (See last pic) Most steps are quite shallow and wide and there is the option of grass most of the time alongside the steps. Parked in the SRLM carpark and coupled it with a trip to the museum and recharged in the cafe afterwards.
Laura Bright — Google review
It seems that some people are expecting a multi story carpark, an escalator and someone to rub their feet when they arrive here. The place is just barely detached from what’s around it, meaning a 10 minuet brisk walk or a 20 minuet slow paced jaunt from the centre of town. It’s got amazing views and the walk to the top is very peaceful and straightforward for almost anyone, potentially even with a wheelchair. There are 0 facilities because it’s a hill with a shell of an abbot on top. The history and mythology is very interesting you have a very calm, yet energetic feeling when at the top. It seems it was once used as a place of execution. Watch out for the 🐉
Caïna Verrin — Google review
I love this place. Great to visit for a walk. Fantastic view from the top. It was super windy, so we didn’t stay up there long. Such a special place to go.
Rachel Wheeler — Google review
Definitely worth a visit if you're nearby. Even though the wind was cold and the rain kept coming in showers, it was a great place to make the effort to get to. Parking in the road near the town was easy and free. The walk up wasn't too bad. Good path and steps. Fantastic views from the top. Interesting building and lots of info en route.
Paul Morris — Google review
The view from the Tor is absolutely amazing! You can literally see for miles. For seasoned walkers the climb is fairly straightforward, but for more casual walkers (like myself) you'll have to put in a bit of effort! There are a few small benches on the way up where you can rest if you need to. If parking in the town centre it's about a 40-minute walk to the top at a moderate pace. On a warm day this would make a great picnic spot, there's plenty of room around the Tor itself and the grounds. Well worth a visit and a great way to get your steps in.
Gary J — Google review
Well worth the visit. Amazing 360 degree views and a calming feeling. Reasonable walk to get to the top. You'll need to be a bit fit or it's ok to stop. Takes about 15 to 20 mins to get to the top. Calm going up and down but very windy on top when we went so hold your hat! Parking was £3. Take an empty water bottle and fill up at the spring!
Olac Coombs — Google review
Lovely walk up and down to the Tor on a lovely day. A very chilled out place for a couple of hours for a picnic. Great views for photos and a very special place.

Glastonbury Abbey

Fabled remains of a wealthy monastery with links to King Arthur and Guinevere and a visitor centre.
Slide 1 of 20
Absolutely amazing chilled out place on a lovely sunny day. Take a picnic if you want or there is a small coffee / snack shop in the grounds. I think entrance fee was about £11 for adults. They had a civil war re-enactment display in the grounds and was well worth the entrance fee. Also, allegedly the burial place of King Arthur!
Matt — Google review
Whilst the majority of the abbey is now in ruins, what remains is stunning. The majority of the site is accessible to all and the museum is very informative. We visited early on a Sunday morning and it did pick up from half 11 onwards so getting there early is recommended to get the whole site to yourself.
Donovan Hand — Google review
Full on history and many ruins and interesting building intacted too. More to see than I thought, like the Monks Kitchen best example in Europe and sweet Chapel and its wall art, as well as King Arthur story. Recommend the free guided tour. Lovely Gardens , ponds to picnic and meditation snd immerse ones self 🙏❤️
Jamie McLatchy — Google review
Fascinating location. The largest abbey ever built still remains impressive today even in ruins. Walk through the ruins and imagine how majestic the sites must have been in their hay days. A must see!
Roberto Buzzi — Google review
Definitely a must when in Glastonbury. I came here not expecting too much but the sheer size of the ruins coupled with the guided tours and museum make this worth the visit. There are a few ponds and fields which make this a lovely place to walk around. Will definitely come back if I am ever in the area again.
Myles Nicholson — Google review
Had an absolute blast at this years Glastonbury Medieval Fayre. Was well worth the visit. From sword fighting tutoring to archers trying to bring down the enemy it was wonderful. The highlight being the jousting with a touch of humour from the stunt team. What a day!
Clair Spires — Google review
A wonderful place, made even more special by the great stories, myths, and legends our lovely guide, Goodwife Molly, shared during our guided visit tour (included in the admission ticket). A stunning, spiritual, space, with ruins that speak of great times and still hide many secrets. The museum is also very informative and the old kitchen is quite impressive. There is a special energy on the grounds. A must, if you are in Glastonbury.
Silvana Avram — Google review
Amazing ruins of the old abbey. Gives a sense of the results of Henry VIII suppression of the monasteries. The kitchen is wonderful. Very nice to walk around and see the different pieces left.
Brian Saylor — Google review
Unbelievable site with spectacular history. Glastonbury punches so above its weight in terms of accessible, dramatic history and beauty. The perfect place to both see the sites and learn the stories, but also to just relax on the beautiful lawns and near the fish ponds.
Mark Wiens Vancouver Real Estate — Google review
Beautiful place, with the beautiful ruins and garden and with a good explanation of what it was before. There’s a place for children to draw and play a little, small bookstore where you can donate books and buy them for a small price. Large garden of ruins where you can enter with the dogs, they are welcome.
Luciana C?rtes — Google review
What a wonderful place to visit. Such a lovely place with beautiful views and gardens. When we visited there was a reenactment happening and it was really really brilliant our son even took part. Everyone was so friendly and helpful a brilliant experience on our holiday.

An excellent inner town park. The size of the Abbey is a reminder of Glastonbury's ancient importance. Looking forward to the new piazza is 2024.
Jonathan Bell — Google review
Beautiful ruins and massive gardens also the reconstruction of how the abbey kitchens would have looked
angus smith — Google review
Beautiful ruins with a great little museum prior. Staff are helpful and it's worth waiting for a guided tour to take you around (no extra charge) you are free to roam about the abbey as long as it's open once your tickets are sorted. I recommend buying in advance as they are slightly cheaper online than on the gate. Students: bring your student card with you.
Thomas Rixon — Google review
I wasn't expecting that! Stunning setting for these extensive remains of the Abbey. Despite being busy the sense of tranquillity and serenity was everywhere. Absolutely beautiful!! And the shop/museum was packed with many delights - don't miss it!
Mandy Harrington — Google review
Glastonbury is a really cool town with lots to see of its own accord. But the Abbey is a key stop. Pillaged by Henry VIII, the remains have a very eerie and spiritual vibe about them. There were many people doing yoga, picnicking, and meditating on the grounds. We were lucky to have a beautiful day to walk around the ruins. For me, the supposed burial site of King Arthur was a real thrill. I have loved the legend and would love to think that this was a final resting place. Be forewarned, parking is very hard to come by.
Laura Fries — Google review
An amazing heritage for the town.. it's beautiful to see the locals gathering and keep the holy spirit of the Avalon
Emilio Giacometti — Google review
Very intriguing site. Loved seeing and reading about the ancient artifacts and buildings. Museum is great. Before our visit of Glastonbury, my wife and I did read the Mary Stewart trilogy of King Arthur and Merlin. You can almost put yourself in the Era. Magical. A must see. Also walked around town, got something to eat and bought souvenirs.
Ron Bunkoske — Google review
Very pleasant afternoon spent in Glastonbury abbey. Car park available at the back of the abbey grounds. Allowing a stroll through the town centre. The ground are easy to access. Wheelchair access available. Cafe and souvenir also present.
Carla Alexandra Santos — Google review
I can't say much as I decided not to go in. But I could see pictures outside and also from the information ℹ️ center I could see part of the ruins. Seem a beautiful place if you are up to pay £12 to go in. I am sure you will have amazing pictures inside.

Absolutely beautiful. Words can not express the beautiful gardens and the spiritual feeling that comes from being here. From goosebumps on top of goosebumps, chills to warmth running through your body. The gardens are extremely well kept and everywhere is so clean and tidy. If you are in Glastonbury, do not hesitate to visit here. It's only a little walk outside of the town and one that is certainly worth it. Maybe a visit before or after the walk to the Tor. Also a great little shop as you are leaving which is also worth a stop to have a look around and buy gifts.
James Woolley — Google review
Beautiful little garden just off the main road. Garden has a natural spring at the top viewed from a well opening which runs down through the garden to the bottom. There are several water features /ponds.It’s set out as a healing and tranquility garden so loud talking,phonecalls etc are severely frowned upon.It was worth a look and a taste of the iron rich water from the lions head fountain, hopefully it’s a fountain of youth.If you need to go relax and sit for a while to align your chakras then this is the place.Across the road is the reservoir building which inside is dark with candles and has a pool full of naked singing ladies 😳 , I’m not sure if they are there full time.
Mick Spanner — Google review
What an absolute Heaven for those that enjoy nature, meditation, and tranquillity!! It just feels you stepped into another world filled with peace and calm away from all the chaos and hustle of the world. Great place to unwind and get in touch with your higher self or unleash your creativity. I understand why writers, painters, and singers love to hang out here to find their muse. Just remember this place is not pet friendly.
Krithiga Bala — Google review
A unique and peaceful garden setting looked after by people 'that care'. The red spring offers a beautiful stream running through the different magical garden sections that appear very ancient. There are lovely places for sitting, for meditation and contemplation.
Jonathan Bell — Google review
Loved it here well worth a visit. Really enjoyed just sitting and soaking up the gardens, good vibes, very friendly people. We met and spoke to some amazing people here made some friends! We filled a bottle from the healing spring and dioped our feet into the healing pond. Nice shop as well had some jewelry and incense. Tickets allowed you to return same day. The walk to the Tor is right next doot as well.

A beautiful, spiritual place steeped in history. The gardens themselves are a haven of tranquility. We visited three times during our short stay. Lovely gift shop with a variety of items to indulge the senses.
David Larmour — Google review
Absolutely amazing gardens, the atmosphere is beautiful and walking between each section and admiring it for the nature and uniqueness was breathtaking. If you’re planning to go here, I’d recommend allocating a few hours to thoroughly enjoy it, maybe take food to sit and enjoy in the picnic field.
Beth O'Reilly — Google review
Absolutely lovely! Beautiful well kept gardens attached to a majestic Holy well. There are many holy wells across the south west and this is one of the very lovely ones. It costs £5 as an adult to get in if you’re not a local, and whilst I was against this, I realised they do landscaping and purity tests on the water, which you can drink and bottle for free. It tastes like iron. Please be respectful and mindful of others here, so please be calm and quiet 🙂

Had a lovely refreshing time at the Chalice Well. A lovely place to relax, meditate and reflect. Many benches and places where you can reflect. Very quiet and peaceful. Lovely staff at the front booth and gift shop. Feel very soothed and refreshed.
Georgia Sian Clarke — Google review
Glastonbury and the Chalice Well was a real highlight of our UK tour. My partner's foot was arthritic and she was having trouble with the feeling of a rock in her joints. It came on a few days before our trip and we thought it would have a huge effect on the trip. After soaking her feet in the well, the foot pain was completely gone and didn't come back for the duration of the trip. It was a true healing event. Really amazing 🤩🙏
Keith Gonzalez — Google review
I have bought a second home to spend more time with in the wonderful community and the healing that comes from depending time at such a historic and unique site. I do find the parking to be very limiting as I am not very mobile but I haven’t got a badge. Also it would complete the experience for me if my dog was allowed in. Children are often louder and more disruptive than dogs. I love visiting tho and I always buy from the dedicated staff at the gift shop. Thank you for all you do to keep the challis running xxx

I was recommended by a friend to visit it. It is a beautiful garden with a £5 entry fee that is worth the visit. There are little retreats around the garden for you to meditate, feel the energy and vibrations from this mistic place. Many people enter the little water pools and are there in meditation. The little pools water e freezing, not sure why. It a very quiet place and you will feel energised once you leave it. Take the map and follow the route by numbers. I loved it. Dogs not allowed due to many people looking for a peaceful moment and silence is required.

A wonderful oasis of peace and beauty, with a special, serene energy. Relaxing and enriching. A journey through time and space, with many exquisite discoveries and meditation spots. A place that takes you far from the mading crowd, to the very essence of being.

Absolutely gorgeous and so peaceful there. It's a bit difficult if you have mobility issues but still worth the visit.

Simply magical, you can easily connect with nature. On Halloween this place is much more special because you can light candles, sing, make wishes around the fire and you will see people with unusual clothes.
Sindi — Google review
This is a reasonably priced open garden that's grown up around an ancient well. The actual main well area is designated as a quiet space with "turn your mobile to plane mode" signs, which seemed a bit extreme! There are lots of grassed areas and flowers with butterflies flitting around in the garden. It's very popular so not particularly tranquil! Overall, it was a great place to relax on a hot day and paddle in icy well water. There are plenty of benches to sit on, plus clean public toilets and an expensive gift shop. Please note there are quite a few steps from well area to well area. You can fill your own water containers from the spring water area there or a few yards away outside at the well house. Sadly, there is minimal car parking at the site, and it's a 20-30 minute uphill walk from the town centre to get there. Overall, I enjoyed visiting.

Always one of the most magical and peaceful places to visit in Glastonbury in my opinion and open to anyone regardless of belief. Enjoyed a quick dip in the water and some quiet meditation, much needed after recent prolonged stay in hospital. Nice to see so many offerings and candles inside in addition to the work done outside during lockdown (?) Free to visit, though donations welcome and run by volunteers, so be kind about the opening times!🤲

Great place to just sit and watch the world go by. It's nice to have the spring opening again, Sundays between 12 and 4 at the moment. The energy here and surrounding is powerful yet blissful. I've spend 20 of the last 24 full moons here. Its home from home.

Amazing, a parallel universe, carefully taken care by the community. I always leave 10 pounds there as a thanks for the love and devotion of the volunteers to keep it in perfect order, not easy though, regardless the fact that is totally free

A pure and healing spring. Such a magical place with 2 lay lines , St Michael and St Mary. Very special. The water from the White spring is delicious. The red spring opposite has more iron in it.

The White Springs has a series of pools which you can bathe in, while soaking up the ambiance and atmosphere created many local artists. All around the venue has little grottoes for contemplation featuring statues and goddess themed artworks. The water comes from a natural spring which is safe for drinking, and is purported to have healing powers.

A mystical place of interest, even if you're not into paganism. Would have loved to swim in the waters, another time maybe.
Jonathan Bell — Google review
This natural spring water, site has three spring outlets at the front of site. It poured out free natural spring water, and many people fill up water bottles and containers here. Inside the scalp cave-like building is were the spring water accumulates into massive stone made pools. People are welcome to bath and meditate in these polls. This building is solely lit by hundreds of tea light and stick candles, both on ledges and up walls. A very tranquil and spiritual place, with very strict silence andß photography rules. The white springs is free admission with no time limit on your stay run by volunteers this venue is only open three days a week, however the three spring at front are always accessable. As shown in the pictures

So happy they were open on Solstice. A magical experience, free to visit and bathe in the freezing water! After being up all night on the Tor, this was really curative. Felt so alive! Nudity is not mandatory but it is in keeping with the 'medieval water cult' vibes so definitely recommended!
Elowyn Stevenson — Google review
Beautiful, sacred, peaceful place. A must for all to experience and appreciate. No photographs allowed as would disturb the sacred nature and atmosphere. You can bathe in the spring, some people did bring towels to bathe naked. If you want to do this, be mindful everybody could see you undress and enter the water, climbing across to reach the plunge section. Free entry, no queue needed. Was slightly affected by the sound of a car alarm going off outside, and the fountain outside had people sat in it smoking so you couldn’t truly admire it.

Unfortunately, we got there 45 minutes before it opened & couldn't wait, so I can only rate it on an outside view ! ( It did look fabulous though through the gate !).

This was my first visit here and I was so glad I went, what a beautiful place with beautiful people, a very peaceful place to meditate and be at one with oneself . It was a shame I didn't have a towel to fully submerge myself in the spring but I did walk in the shallow pool so i will return soon . This is a must visit and only around the corner from the Chalice well .
Darren Austin — Google review
A wonderful experience. Visited with a friend and we plunged into the pools. I’ve never been in water that cold and it took my breath away. However the beauty and the most powerful healing and extraordinary feeling I felt made the water feel warm. I am glad we took a towel and enjoyed the hour or complete silence that was being held at 2.30-3.30 on Saturday 2nd March.

If your spiritual or want to be enlightened this is a must visit whilst visiting Glastonbury, just around the corner from The Challice Well and on route to walk up The Tor, ( do all three) 😍 such a blissful, cosmic, over whelming place of ethoria! Lit candles, under ground spring, where you can walk in, to revive thy body and mind, an area to sit and mediate where Papa Bois ( father of the forest) proudly sits, not forgetting our mother Earth, or if you need cleansing of thy soul or to feel awakened, what ever your desire, you can, strip off nakie and emmerse your bod bod in the plunge Spring! and embrace with your soul sisters, That's why photos are prohibited... Sheer pleasure

So you have climbed the Tor, visited the Abbey, browsed the shops, spent money to get into the chalice well..... It is now time to see the real marvel of all of Glastonbury. Observes short opening times so plan your visit carefully. Take your swimming trunks and immerse yourself in the waters of White Spring.... be brave!!! Relax, recharge, meditate! No photos allowed in this cave

I really didn't expect much from what, from the outside, seemed to be a large room on a first floor. However, as soon as I stepped in, my heart skipped a beat and I couldn't help but shedding a tear. I was overcome by the energy that emanates from the multiple lovingly arranged shrines - it is welcoming, cozy, peaceful and brings a feeling of nurturing safety, like a warm embrace. The Sacred Femenine is alive and powerful here. Thank you 🙏

I felt a little out of place being a man but I visited as my wife wanted me near and so I obliged her. I've visited three times now and I have been accepted and made to feel welcome in this beautiful, spiritual place. But a word of warning: you are required to remove your shoes. At the conclusion of our last visit, as I put my shoes back on, my wife asked me to pay for a Goddess effigy, and as I approached the attendant Goddess devotee to pay for this item I was shooed away and escorted from the sacred area with great histrionic fervour which had the effect of breaking the spell with a crash and a thud. I felt foolish to say the least, and felt the reaction was akin to opening a nut with a lump hammer. If I had have entered a nearby church - there are many worth visiting in Glastonbury - with my hat on, I doubt the reaction would have been anything near as fervent. But I shouldn't let something like this put me off as this is a beautiful place to visit and in well worth your time if you are female or of a spiritual bent.

I specifically drive all the way from London to get here and to the shops below. If you are pagan or spiritual, you will love this temple. I spend between 20-60 mins just sitting there meditating. It’s very peaceful and the energy is very positive. If you ask one of the temple volunteers they will give you a sacred cleanse and blessings.

I adore coming here and the ladies that supervise the temple for visitors are so lovely and patient. They have seasonal displays which are absolutely beautiful and it’s such a relaxing space to spend as much time as you like in. Really do need to come here more now that we live closer. Also - if you are going to visit here, you remove your shoes at the door because it’s a sacred space. If you don’t like it, don’t visit. When I was there last time, someone got all uppity about why they should take their shoes off and ended up being told to leave. There’s a chair there so you can sit down to remove your shoes. If you plan ahead a little, perhaps wear shoes that can be taken off with ease when you get there. It’s not as easy for some people who are less mobile/able to bend down but they do provide a chair and try to make it as easy as possible for you, so please be respectful of that.

Absolutely stunning location. We arrived early enough to park easily, and enjoyed a leisurely stroll for 10 minutes down the easy-walking path, until the marshes opened up, at which point the aerial display started - even the smallest member of the party (3) was blown away by the murmuration beauty. Breathtaking.

Such a beautiful nature reserve with some stunning views of the meadows, especially if you go at certain times of the day with the sunset or sunrise. Paths are well maintained and the site is full of nature. Lots of great spots for nature photography and lots history. Car parks aren't free. Great place for cycling too as the main path runs along an old railway track. Definitely will come back, not far from Glastonbury if you're in the area.
Jake B — Google review
My favourite place to go. I have only just started nature photography and living in Bristol i wanted to go somewhere within the surrounding area, this is like 40min drive. It has lovely long walks, the birds are all around, and now spring is here drying out the walkways, the hides are opening slowly. Stop and take in your surroundings, stop and sit at certain points, because most of the time you walk past the wildlife without realising its there. Car park is easy to get to, Finding it hard going to other reserves, as it just seems so good. Across the other side of it you another reserve a short walk away. If that all doesn't fit, its a quick drive to Greylakes or Westhey Moore reserve, this area is so underrated. Even saw the common cranes which made an appearance.

We've been to RSPB Ham Wall many times over the past 5 years. Our most recent visit was on a very warm Wednesday 22nd June, 2022. Always a fabulous day out. Toilet facilities available at the main car park and plenty of seating to enjoy a picnic. Members can park free of charge. Not sure how much it costs for non-members but full details are available on their website. There are many different walking/cycling routes to choose from and disabled visitors are also catered for. Staff/volunteers on site are always friendly and helpful, and there are information points to collect leaflets at the car park and info boards along the various routes. Whatever time of year you visit, there is always something to see. Whether you're visiting for the wildlife or the fabulous views of the Somerset countryside and Glastonbury Tor, I'm sure you'll enjoy your trip. As RSPB members, my husband and I are really happy to have RSPB Ham Wall as our nearest reserve to home.

I was amazed this was free entry and only a nominal £3 for parking all day. It's a wonderful place for a walk with large and small hides to view the birds. Binoculars are needed for seeing the birds and there are useful information signs displaying a picture of the birds and what they are. I certainly needed the signs as there were so many different types of birds.

A large nature reserve with a range of hides and well managed paths through the wetland environment. There is a very wide range of birds to spot as well as otters and other wildlife. It’s a beautiful place and really accessible for everyone. Great views of Glastonbury Tor in the distance too!

If you are in to your wildlife this place is truly worth a visit. A walk around kilometres of paths through reed beds delivered views of Marsh harrier, egrets, Reed bunting etc. A short walk to the railway Inn for a pint and then back for the evening finale of a starling murmuration (winter only) with birds numbering into the 100s of 1000s. Perhaps one of the last great wildlife experiences of the UK.

Beautiful stunning place! This was our first visit but will certainly not be our last. We had a fantastic talk by an RSPB representative before entering the park. Then whilst walking around we were lucky enough to see deer, marsh harriers, egrets and even heard an otter. All of this and the car park is only £3. They have clean toilets and a great reception area where they grow their own plants from the marsh peat. Well worth a trip.

Wonderful chapel and gardens and a very nice atmosphere except for the lady who looks after the place. My friend was talking to someone and this lady told him to be quiet. Anyway, he carried on talking but in a more subdued tone. The lady came back a little while later and in a rather rude tone asked us to leave. She said in angry manner that it was a sacred and peaceful place. I thought, well, that may be so, but it certainly isn't a place where vows of silence should be enforced. She, that woman, needs to practice her being friendly and polite skills to visitors.

A secret little chapel, you could easily pass by without knowing it was there. But very Beautiful indeed, the atmosphere and feeling of peacefulness and tranquility is all around. Only one row of Alms houses remain. Many years ago there was a row each side of where the pretty small garden is now in situe The first of the Alms house has been furnished so you can see and imagine how the tenants would of lived. Many, many years ago I attended a couple of musical evening events what a setting indeed. A good experience for the body, mind and of course the soul!!

Interesting place to visit ( especially when you've been soaked at the Tor from a downpour 😄 ). It's not massive & so a bit pricey compared to some similar places, but the ticket does entitle you to visit as many times as you like within a year of purchase. Very friendly staff & interesting areas to look around, so I would recommend visiting if you're interested in English/west country history & traditions . Toilets were clean 👌 We didn't visit the café so I can't comment on it . We will try & visit again sometime in the next 12 months .

Great little cafe for tea, coffee, cakes and lite bites. It's within the museum but you don't have to pay / go around the museum to use the cafe. Very friendly staff. If you are climbing Glastonbury Tor I would recommend dropping in to buy bottled water or drinks from the museum cafe before you start....and when you come down the Tor you will be ready for a hot drink and something to eat.

This place was so tranquil and quiet. I wasn't expecting much at 8.50 entrance (which gives entrance for a whole year), but it was a really well thought out museum covering history of traditional trades in the area. There is an impressive barn and an orchard with sheep. The cafe is good value and very nice. Well worth visiting.

The museum is a fascinating and friendly place, my favourite is the 14th cent barn which is a thing of beauty. Showing the range of crafts need just to keep everyday society going is extraordinary. All the historic side of the museum was great. An art install also very interesting. The only downside is that cafe is pretty awful... Frozen pasty and sausage roll microwaved and dumped lonely, greasy and slumped on a plate was sad. Anther table asked for some form of salad dressing for her otherwise dry salad. "we've got salad cream"... Inadequate really. Esp compared with the quality at the sister Taunton where the food is excellent. Friendly though!

Excellent museum. Visited on a Sunday. For the size of the museum it packs in a lot. Very interesting farming exhibits intermingled with lots to do for kids. The day we went 2 beautiful shire horses were visiting. Staff were all very friendly and engaging and there were kids backpacks with activities for my daughter to do while looking round. Lots of dressing up for kids, a tractor to go on, a cow to milk by hand (not real one) the cafe did really nice food and drinks for our lunch. The Tithe Barn had an art exhibition in it and is a beautiful building. The old farmhouse has modern extensions that are very contemporary and a space for hire that has a lovely sliding glazed wall that opens out onto the courtyard.

This place was so much better than expected. Free parking in a large car park when visiting. Tickets are reasonable and after paying once you can return multiple times for a year. Lots of activities put on especially through the holidays and on weekends. There was a local sculptor in the barn who did rubber stamping and another activity. She was so lovely, really engaging with the children and very chatty and helpful. She complimented both children’s work and made them feel proud of their makes. All other staff were super friendly too. There is an orchard with sheep in and a gated picnic area. A small cafe with outdoor seating - unsure of prices or range as we used picnic area with benches, but it seemed very popular. Really interactive museum with dress up available too. We will definitely be returning.

First ever visit. Absolute amazing visit. The website gave a real wealth of information before traveling which was really informative about what was on, what the current exhibitions were and what we were able to see. As a person with a disability, sensitive to certain sound and noise sensitivity, I was able to ask questions and was told that some areas may have some rapid moving line art amination, apart from this the whole museum is very accessible. The museum have lots of information about this history of rural Somerset. The onsite cafe was very well stocked and reasonably priced. For those who may be sensitive to noise, crowds or busy areas it may become busy at half term or during the holidays so I would suggest avoid at this time. Well worth this visit and it's worth knowing, carers go for free. And a paid ticket gives a full free membership for a year.

We saw Rachel's work through the window of her studio at Christmas and were amazed at the beauty and originality of the jewelry she makes. I kept the details and managed to remember them when it was time to buy my wife's birthday present.

Absolutely beautiful.

Rachel's work is really rather stunning (typical Englishman's understatement there!)., and well worth what she charges. If her stock doesn't match what you want in terms of colour or fixings - talk to the lady. She is more than willing to make something to suit. If you want a totally bespoke design, again talk to her. I'm sure she would be happy to quote. The turnaround she provides is very good indeed. Yesterday I ordered an item from stock. It arrived this morning. She is pleasant and courteous in all communications. A real pleasure to do business with.

Went into their pop up cafe for the carnival yesterday. They were very warm and welcoming people my son said I must come on an give them 5 stars as they were so nice- beautiful homemade cakes. I can imagine anyone would be warmly welcomed at this church.

Stunning structure from the outside, couldn't get inside as it was closed. But it's a magnificent looking church. They do open the church for visiting on Saturdays and Mondays from 10am to noon (Saturday) & 2pm (Monday). It was originally dedicated to Saint Benignus. It's dated back to the fourteenth century and has six bells and five are from the thirteenth century according to the church's website. Worth visiting.

My church. Friendly, hospitable, open every day, except Sunday, for people who want a quiet place to just sit, for prayer or to have a look at the lovely stained glass windows and corbels. Information available in the church.

We visited St Benedict's for an Evening of music with the Incredible String bands Robin Williamson and Bina. We had a wonderful evening. The acoustics were excellent and the church itself is stunning and dates back further than the Norman period.

Amazing church, always a warm welcome, wonderful place to hold a party or a reception. Has its own kitchen facility, and lots of equipment to use. A really lovely place which has everything going for it.
