Glastonbury

Glastonbury is a small town, situated 31 miles south of Bristol, with a population of approx 10,000. Glastonbury is a rather different and lively small town and one that is steeped in history, myths and legends, and thereby giving rise to its popularity as a ‘new age’ destination. Various myths include Glastonbury as the final resting place for King Arthur and the Holy Grail, and for such a small town there is much to see including the 7th century Glastonbury Abbey, Glastonbury Tor and the Chalice Well. However, Glastonbury is probably best known for its legendary annual Glastonbury Festival, which can be best described as Britain’s original rock festival.

The villages around Glastonbury and nearby Street are highly sought after particularly for those families looking for easy access to Millfield School.
