Places to see in ( Glastonbury - UK )
Glastonbury is a town and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated at a dry point on the low-lying Somerset Levels, 23 miles south of Bristol. The town of Glastonbury is in the Mendip district. Glastonbury is less than 1 mile (2 km) across the River Brue from Street, which is now larger than Glastonbury.
Evidence from timber trackways such as the Sweet Track show that the town has been inhabited since Neolithic times. Glastonbury Lake Village was an Iron Age village, close to the old course of the River Brue and Sharpham Park approximately 2 miles (3 km) west of Glastonbury, that dates back to the Bronze Age. Centwine was the first Saxon patron of Glastonbury Abbey, which dominated the town for the next 700 years. One of the most important abbeys in England, it was the site of Edmund Ironside's coronation as King of England in 1016. Many of the oldest surviving buildings in the town, including the Tribunal, George Hotel and Pilgrims' Inn and the Somerset Rural Life Museum, which is based in an old tithe barn, are associated with the abbey. The Church of St John the Baptist dates from the 15th century.
The town became a centre for commerce, which led to the construction of the market cross, Glastonbury Canal and the Glastonbury and Street railway station, the largest station on the original Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway. The Brue Valley Living Landscape is a conservation project managed by the Somerset Wildlife Trust and nearby is the Ham Wall National Nature Reserve.
Glastonbury has been described as a New Age community which attracts people with New Age and Neopagan beliefs, and is notable for myths and legends often related to Glastonbury Tor, concerning Joseph of Arimathea, the Holy Grail and King Arthur. Joseph is said to have arrived in Glastonbury and stuck his staff into the ground, when it flowered miraculously into the Glastonbury Thorn. The presence of a landscape zodiac around the town has been suggested but no evidence has been discovered. The Glastonbury Festival, held in the nearby village of Pilton, takes its name from the town.
The Tribunal was a medieval merchant's house, used as the Abbey courthouse and, during the Monmouth Rebellion trials, by Judge Jeffreys. The octagonal Market Cross was built in 1846 by Benjamin Ferrey. The George Hotel and Pilgrims' Inn was built in the late 15th century to accommodate visitors to Glastonbury Abbey.
The Somerset Rural Life Museum is a museum of the social and agricultural history of Somerset, housed in buildings surrounding a 14th-century barn once belonging to Glastonbury Abbey. The Chalice Well is a holy well at the foot of the Tor, covered by a wooden well-cover with wrought-iron decoration made in 1919.
Just a short distance from the Chalice Well site, across a road known as Well House Lane, can be found the White Spring, where a temple has been created in the 21st century. The building now used as the White Spring Temple was originally a Victorian-built well house, erected by the local water board in 1872.
The Glastonbury Canal ran just over 14 miles (23 km) through two locks from Glastonbury to Highbridge where it entered the Bristol Channel in the early 19th century. The nearest railway station is at Castle Cary but there is no direct bus route linking it to Glastonbury. There are convenient bus connections between Glastonbury and the railway stations at Bristol Temple Meads (over an hour travelling time) and at Taunton. The main road in the town is the A39 which passes through Glastonbury from Wells connecting the town with Street and the M5 motorway.
( Glastonbury - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Glastonbury . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Glastonbury - UK

Glastonbury Tor, UK - St. Michael, Myths and Legends
Glastonbury Tor combines, Archangel Michael, ley lines, a Fairy castle, and King Arthur's Avalon in one place! We're going to climb to the top to find out what is there.
Glastonbury Tor is a hill near the town of Glastonbury in the English county of Somerset. At the top is St Michael's Tower, which is all that remains of the stone Church of St Michael built on the site in the 14th century.
The Tor, like Glastonbury itself, is linked to the legends of King Arthur and Celtic myths. It is said that the King of the Fairies, Gwyn Ap Nudd, lives in a crystal castle with the fairies deep inside the hill.

Glastonbury Revealed: Examining Glastonbury's myths and legends through archaeology
The site of Glastonbury Abbey is one of the important ancient heritage sites in the UK.
A focus for many people who value the spiritual and historical resonances of the place, it is best known for its legendary reputation as the burial place of King Arthur and as the earliest Christian foundation in Britain, allegedly founded by Joseph of Arimathea, the great-uncle of Christ, in AD 63.
A team of AHRC-funded researchers, led by Professor Roberta Gilchrist of Reading University, has re-evaluated the history of Glastonbury Abbey and its environs and disentangled the rich but not always accurate myth from historical reality.
Among the findings are: fresh evidence to confirm that the abbey site was indeed occupied in the 5th or 6th century, before the foundation of the Saxon monastery; identification of an early timber building with large post pits associated with fragments of imported Roman amphorae, dated c AD 450-550 and often associated with very high status secular (ie royal) settlement; analysis of glass and metal fragments suggesting that the glass-working furnaces at Glastonbury represent the earliest evidence for significant glass production in Saxon England; and a great deal more.
The project has worked closely with local groups and the general public and outreach activities have been crucial to its work and its findings.
This film examines the new evidence unearthed by the project and how researchers have worked with the Abbey Museum, conservators and the public to explore the history of this rich and extraordinary site.
Glastonbury, Somerset
Glastonbury Abbey was founded in the 7th century and enlarged in the 10th, but was destroyed by fire in 1184, rebuilt and reconsecrated in 1213. During rebuilding, the Abbey monks said that they had found the remains of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, thought by some to be a publicity stunt to raise revenue. These bones were later reburied in 1278, in the presence of king Edward I. Glastonbury is full of myths and legends, some related to the nearby Tor; and has connections to Joseph of Arimathea, the Holy Grail, and King Arthur. In the town there are many shops selling 'new age' articles, and the town also holds the famous Glastonbury Festival, held nearby.
