Glastonbury's past and its present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It’s been a religious centre throughout history and

further back into the times of legends. There was a Celtic monastery here by 500AD which, during the next 1000 years evolved into

one of England's wealthiest and most influential abbeys. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and by the 18th century had received

a charter and had become a manufacturing and trading centre. Today it’s a small but thriving town and a major tourist venue,

welcoming thousands of visitors each year.

Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey and Naish House stands

immediately facing the Abbey grounds in Magdalene Street. There is a busy local shopping centre, a broad range of societies and

activities and excellent State & Private schools in the area including Millfield and Wells Cathedral School. For more information on
