About Glastonbury Tor
Glastonbury Tor is steeped in a history that interweaves myth and reality. It’s believed to have been a place of great spiritual significance dating back to the early Neolithic period. The iconic tower at its peak is what remains of a 15th-century church dedicated to St. Michael, which itself replaced a modest wooden church struck down in an earthquake in 1275.
The Tor has associations with the legendary Isle of Avalon—a prominent spot in Arthurian legends—and is thought to be the entryway to the otherworld in Celtic mythology. It’s a place where historical intrigue, sacred magic, and folklore collide beautifully.
