About Glastonbury - show info hide info

Glastonbury is a small town in Somerset, England, situated at a dry spot on the Somerset Levels, 30 miles south of Bristol. The town has a population of 8,800 (2002 estimate). It is in the Mendip district. The town is known for its history, including Glastonbury Abbey and Glastonbury Tor, as well as the many myths and legends associated with the town. The town is also known for the Glastonbury Festival which takes place in the nearby village of Pilton. Glastonbury today is a centre for religious tourism and pilgrimmage. Strains of mysticism and paganism co-exist, not always easily, with followers of its Christian heritage. As with many towns of similar size, the centre is not as thriving as it once was but Glastonbury supports a remarkable number of 'New Age' or Alternative shops, often featuring crystals prominently among their wares. Towns near Glastonbury include Shepton Mallet, Bridgwater, Bristol, Bath, Trowbridge, Weston-Super-Mare and Taunton.
