Glastonbury Tor, on the mystical “Isle of Avalon”, is a truly iconic feature of Somerset’s landscape. At 158 metres it rises high above the Avalon Marshes and can be seen from across the county and beyond. On its summit stands St Michael’s tower, which adds further to the dramatic effect of the Tor at sunrise, sunset and on misty mornings. It is roughly 20 minutes by car and makes for a fabulous - if not steep walk!
