Overview

Most of the historical and mythical sites around Glastonbury are linked by this walk, including a climb to the grand viewpoint of Glastonbury Tor.  We start out over the Avalon Marshes and following the Glastonbury Way loop round up over Wearyall Hill back in to Glastonbury and ascend the Tor, returning back to the centre of Glastonbury where there are plenty of café opportunities before heading back down to the cars.
