We had a fantastic break in Glastonbury. We have wanted to go for a long time. The tower sits on top of the tor and many ley lines cross there. A lot of people visit to feel this energy.
We climbed up twice....the first day in strong winds, the second in beautiful sunshine and we stayed for a picnic, enjoying 360 degrees of the most wonderful views. We felt as if we were on top of the world.
Here I am on the way to the top.
We visited the Chalice Well Gardens. It is at the base of the hill. The Holy Grail is supposed to be buried in the well and the water is thought to be healing. We brought some of the water home. It has a metallic taste....mainly of iron. Many people meditate in this garden ...in fact it is a world peace garden. There were many places to sit and contemplate.
Here is the well with the chalice symbol on the lid.
The shops in the town were amazing, selling crystals, musical intruments, beads, colourful clothing, organic food and many alternative books. We treated ourselves to quite a few gifts!!! It was particularly good to see so many independent shops instead of the usual high street names.
We visited Wells Cathedral and stayed for evensong which was mainly sung by their magnificent choir. We sat in the quire area so we had a good view of everything. It was very special.
In the evening there was a street festival with many different styles of live music and food.
We had a wonderful time.
