Glastonbury Abbey, the final resting place
of King Arthur and his queen, Guinevere and once a major centre
of culture and learning. An earlier legend tells of how Joseph
of Arimathea brought the Holy Grail to Glastonbury
and built a simple church on the site of this great abbey
- possibly the first Christian church in England, "the
holiest earthe in England".

also time to savour the special atmosphere of Glastonbury
village with its medieval buildings and unusual shops.

world's largest stone circle. Our walking tour will bring

church and maybe enjoy a cream tea or a pint of ale in the
