Glastonbury Tor

The Isle of Avalon — where the Michael and Mary ley currents braid through a green hill of legend.

Glastonbury Tor is a steep, conical hill that rises 518 feet above the flat Somerset Levels in southwest England, its summit crowned by the 14th-century stone tower of St. Michael’s Church. Archaeological evidence shows human activity here since the Neolithic period, with Iron Age fortifications and a medieval monastery that once stood on the slopes before the Dissolution. The real geography of the hill, shaped by glacial and river processes, creates natural terraces that spiral toward the top, giving the Tor its distinctive stepped profile.

Arthurian legend places the Tor at the heart of Avalon, the misty island where King Arthur was taken after his final battle and where Joseph of Arimathea is said to have brought the Holy Grail. Celtic and Christian traditions overlap here, with the Tor viewed as both a faerie mound and a place of Christian pilgrimage. The lost-civilization lore speaks of an ancient Atlantean or Avalonian temple complex whose energetic foundations still resonate beneath the grass.

Best time to visit: May–June or September–October — mild temperatures and lower rainfall than winter; shoulder seasons offer quiet mornings before day-trippers arrive in July and August.
