Glastonbury Abbey, once one of England's wealthiest monasteries, now stands as evocative stone ruins amid manicured lawns. Visitors wander through the vast nave, cloisters, and the site where monks claimed to have discovered the tombs of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. The abbey's history spans from early Christian settlement to its dissolution in 1539. Today, the peaceful grounds host events, and the museum displays artifacts that tell its storied past.
