Glastonbury Tor rises dramatically from the flat Somerset Levels, its solitary tower of St Michael's a landmark for miles. Visitors ascend a winding path to the summit, where panoramic views stretch across the countryside. The site is entwined with myths of King Arthur and the Holy Grail, and its terraced slopes hint at ancient significance. At the top, explore the roofless medieval tower and feel the enduring spiritual atmosphere that draws pilgrims and tourists alike.
