Hiking
Glastonbury Tor has long since been iconic as a scenic viewpoint. The Tor is a grand tower with outstanding views out over the surrounding countryside. Nowhere is this more prevalent than half way up the Tor, where the steps lead you like a concrete snake up to the Tor. The Tor is ahead of you and Glastonbury is behind you, simply an outstanding viewpoint.

Hiking
Rising dramatically out of the Somerset levels, Glastonbury Tor is one of England’s most mystical and iconic landmarks. It is a place where breathtaking natural beauty completely intertwines with centuries of rich folklore, ancient legends, and spiritual history.
The Stroll Up: The walk to the summit takes you up a terraced grassy hill. While the climb is a little steep, it rewards every step with sweeping, panoramic views across the rolling countryside, the Mendip Hills, and on clear days, all the way to Wales.
