On foot

Glastonbury: Tor, Chalice Well and Abbey

Glastonbury is the most layered legendary landscape in the county. Start on the Tor, said to hide the way into Annwn and to mark Arthur's Avalon, then drop to Chalice Well, Dod Lane where the last abbot died, the abbey ruins and the George and Pilgrims Hotel. The Tor climb is steep, so allow extra time.
