The History of Glastonbury Tor

Glastonbury Tor is an isolated sandstone hill located just over the Somerset Levels. For more than a millennium Glastonbury was the location of an abbey of serious power, still impressive almost 500 years after it was suppressed and left in ruins. The abbey has a spellbinding Gothic architectural design, and there's an array of separate monuments, from the remarkable Medieval kitchen to a historic pub, all of which have ties to the old monastery. Glastonbury has Pagan and Christian folklore and draws a big new age and Neo-Pagan community. That hill, Glastonbury Tor is a National Trust site with natural springs rising from deep within its rock, and huge rings of terraces on its slopes, built for reasons that are still unknown.

You might visit the Somerset Rural Life Museum, an idyllic farm around a 14th-century barn, this museum chronicles the history of the everyday people of Glastonbury and has just reopened after a major makeover. That barn is Grade I listed and was originally a tithe barn that belonged to the abbey and was used to store wheat and rye. In the neighboring farmhouse, some galleries go into themes like education, crafts, folk festivals and remembrance customs for the dead. The courtyard and the barn have all sorts of antique equipment for fishing, farming, willow coppicing, digging peat, and producing cider, milk, and cheese. There are also interpretation boards that label the farm's historic buildings, as well as an apple cider orchard, a beehive, and rare sheep and poultry breeds.
