Located in Somerset, England, Glastonbury Tor is a popular tourist destination with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. The hill is made up of sandstone and is steeply sloped, making it one of the most difficult hikes in the area. Surrounded by ruins from ancient civilisations, Glastonbury Tor is a must-see for anyone visiting Somerset.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 🐉

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.

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!

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.
St Margaret's Chapel, situated on Magdalene Street and classified as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, can be easily overlooked due to its secluded location away from the road. Originally part of a hospital complex constructed at the beginning of the 14th century, it was later included in a group of buildings built approximately one hundred years after. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was transformed into almshouses.
Nice quiet place to visit in Pagan Glastonbury, there is a nice peaceful chapel and a gift shop and houses still the same as there were 200 years ago.
I think it's a Christian place but noticed Jesus was missing.
Free entry

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!!

RSPB Ham Wall is a stunning nature reserve with well-maintained paths and beautiful views of the meadows, especially during sunrise or sunset. The site offers great opportunities for nature photography and is rich in history. It's also a great spot for cycling along an old railway track. The location is easily accessible from Glastonbury and provides an opportunity to witness breathtaking aerial displays such as murmurations.
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.
Rebecca Hammond — Google review
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.

A stunning place to take a walk down the canal or ride a bike as we did. If riding a bike take it steady so as not to disturb the wildlife. Plenty of marshes to walk around to watch or take photos of the wildlife.

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.
Thomas Coombs — Google review
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!
Andy Reynolds — Google review
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.

What a wonderful reserve,
The carpark was spacious & there was a coffee stall & toilets.
Non RSPB members are asked to pay parking.
A picnic area also near the carpark.
The reserve has lots on offer the main track is relatively easy to walk.
There are trails & more adventurous paths. Along the main track are viewing areas with seating & they were brilliant.
We saw lots of birds including Marsh Harriers, Buzzards,
A lovely day out

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.

Stumbled on this place by accident and so glad we did. Perfect place to go have a walk and enjoy the quiet sound of nature and lovely scenery. The staff there are so friendly and tell you all about the reserve. There is a little gift shop and a shop selling refreshments also toilets.
The Chalice Spring, located at the top of Glastonbury Tor, contains water that is said to have been miraculously released by Jesus Christ's apostles and transferred to this location. The gardens and orchards around the spring are a living sanctuary where visitors can find peace and inspiration.
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.

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.

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.

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 🙂

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 🤩🙏

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.

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.

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.

A wonderful place where you can find comfort in silence , surrounded by the lush landscape and amazing views. Thanks to the great care and loving hands of the people who maintain this haven.
The remnants of a prosperous monastery, Glastonbury Abbey, possess connections to the legendary King Arthur and Guinevere. The ruins that are visible today include portions of the nave walls, St Mary's chapel remains and crossing arches. During medieval times, this was one of the most influential ecclesiastical seats in England, with vast landholdings around Somerset.
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!

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.

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.

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.
