I visited the abbey as a part of a day trip to Glastonbury and because I didn’t get to do it the last time I was in Glastonbury. The admissions desk staff were really helpful and friendly and gave good information. The abbey grounds are a lot bigger than I thought and I could see it being a lovely place to have a picnic with a family. There was plenty of information dotted around. Of course photos of Arthur and Guinevere’s resting place is a must. I’d do it again with my family.

We visited Glastonbury Abbey on Tuesday and had a wonderful time revisiting a place that holds many fond memories from my childhood. It’s been quite a while since my last visit — the entrance fee has certainly increased from the 20p it cost back in the 1980s! — but the magic and atmosphere of the site remain every bit as special. I explored the grounds using my mobility scooter, and despite the gravel terrain, I found it to be accessible and easy to navigate. The only part I couldn’t reach was the lower floor of the Lady Chapel, but this didn’t detract from the overall experience in the slightest. We did try to find the museum but couldn’t locate it — perhaps it has moved? A little more signage would be helpful there. On a personal note, the Abbey serves as the setting for my third murder mystery novel, Murder at the Monastery, and it was fantastic to revisit the location and soak in the atmosphere for inspiration. All in all, we spent a lovely couple of hours exploring this historic and evocative site. Glastonbury Abbey remains a truly special place, and I highly recommend a visit for anyone interested in history, legend, or simply enjoying a peaceful and scenic spot.

Absolutely beautiful Abbey ruins to visit. They have recently had the cafe, entrance and museum renovated. The Abbey, grounds and gardens are so beautifully maintained and a joy to walk around, and there are plenty of benches throughout. I would highly recommend a visit.

I have long wanted to visit the ruins of the famous abbey, where the remains of the legendary King Arthur (a very tall man, more than 2 meters tall) and his wife, Queen Guinevere, were found, and what I saw was very impressive. The place has amazing energy. Friendly people will explain everything in the information center. There is also a cafe. You can spend several hours without noticing how pleasantly the time passed.🙏🙏👍

Really great site and the exhibition gives loads of information and the timeline of the abbey. The ruins are great. The lady chapel was my favourite, really great energy in there. There was a Viking show on while I was there. The grounds are so lovely and you could spend several hours enjoying the energy of the space. Highly recommend. I purchased tickets onsite and had no wait time, which was good considering it was a bank holiday weekend.

Loved the history and the fact that so much of the Abbey ruins still exist today. Loved the squirrels in the Abbey too. Cute

Lovely place, although was sad to see that Ray, the wizard hadd passed away ahe used to stand there by the outer wall and tell everyone "Blessed Be" and make conversation. Legend has it that King Arthur is buried within. Lovely picnic spots and a lake, we went when the water lillies were out. There is a guided tour available, a small museum, cafe and gift shop. It is sad to see that Henry the 8th decided to destroy the monasteries after leaving the Catholic Church and creating the church England. I have been to a real monastery in Greece and they do have a lovely atmosphere and they're just culturally quite fascinating. Some people may be aware that there are concerts at specific times of the year within the grounds I attended one in about 2009.

This is one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited. The hike to the top of the Tor, the views, the labyrinth, the energy fields, the ancient history, all of it is absolutely amazing!

A beautiful and spiritual place. No parking at the Tor except a couple of places reserved for blue badge holders. I advise walking up or taking the shuttle bus until it stops running later in the year. The 360° views around are truly breathtaking.

I’ve driven past this so many times in the lorry, but I’ve never had a chance to take a walk up to it! Absolutely incredible views from up the top and it’s nice to see people doing spiritual things. Glastonbury certainly has a nice chilled feeling to it.

Definitely worth the hard work getting to the top. Views are spectacular. Parking in the old drapper factory car park £4 for 3 hours. The fresh water spring near by to the torr was so clean and pure.

Glastonbury Tor is a truly magical and iconic landmark. The walk to the top is scenic and rewarding, with breathtaking panoramic views of the Somerset countryside. The historic St. Michael’s Tower adds a mystical charm, and the atmosphere is peaceful and spiritual. A must-visit for anyone exploring Glastonbury — beautiful, inspiring, and unforgettable!

Fabulous landmark - I walked here from Wells, with great views of the Tor as it rises prominently above the surrounding countryside. The final push to the top of the hill is well worth the effort. I have spotted the Tor from the train near Castle Cary too, worth looking out for.

The Tor, Glastonbury is beautiful and the views are stunning. It’s a steep walk up but you can take your time and it’s worth it. Very glad we decided to take a morning walk up to The Tor.

Chalice Well is a beautiful and peaceful sanctuary in Glastonbury. The gardens are serene, filled with flowers, flowing water, and a sense of deep calm. The well itself carries a strong spiritual energy and symbolism of healing and harmony. It’s a perfect place to relax, reflect, and connect with nature. A truly magical experience that feels timeless and sacred.

I literally felt like entering a sacred sanctuary. The ancient well, with its deep symbolism of unity, healing and renewal, was perfect for any form of reflection and meditation. I was especially drawn to the seven bowls flowing into the vesica piscis–shaped pool. How beautiful that the interlocking circles are signify the intersection of heaven and earth, spirit and matter, masculine and feminine. Everywhere I turned, harmony and peace seemed to resonate. The quiet garden spaces offered the perfect place to pause, breathe, and meditate. It’s a rare spot where you can let time slow down and simply be!

The gardens are beautifully maintained, and the atmosphere is incredibly calming. The sound of flowing water and the vibrant flowers create a perfect space for reflection and relaxation. It’s definitely worth a visit for a small fee.

The garden and wells, springs with healing water, are popular. It is recommended to bring a towel, many people dip their feet, and bottles to fill. Friendly staff, tickets are currently £5.😊🙏

Gorgeous place and energy here. This is a place of great peace. The gardens are beautiful and the grounds are well kept. I would recommend going early if possible to avoid crowds. Not everyone visiting is quiet and respectful of the space unfortunately, so if you are looking to immerse yourself in the Chalice Well energy and experience of quiet reflection, it is ideal to plan your visit around peak times.

A beautiful, peaceful place to come and meditate or explore the beautiful gardens and nature. Loved the whole aura of the place, very healing.

Beautiful, 5 Quid, worth it. Peaceful, lovely flowers. One with it all. Maybe remember others came to be reflective. A sacred space to dip feet into water, contemplate and drink fresh spring water.

Sacred pool, though, freezing crisp cold. No photos. Altars around. Bring a towel if you wish to climb into the water. A lovely angelic being was toning, and it was heavenly. It can be busy as its a super popular visit. It came highly recommended by a local. His favorite place to be. I loved my quiet meditation during their silence period. Maybe I got in because it wasn't that full. It started getting busy afterwards. Definitely a way to be with raw and vulnerable energies. All ages. Floor is wet, some folk are bare feet. It's grounding, and optional. Note open certain days and at specific times. Plan for this visit. I parked at Silver Street parking lot and walked. Then went to Chalice Well afterwards. Enjoy!

The sacred Temple of the White Spring beneath the Isle of Avalon. This sanctuary has been created inside an old Victorian well house. Inside the dark interior you will find bathing pools and shrines to Bridgid, the Celtic Fire Goddess, Our Lady of Avalon and the King of the Faerie. Don't go in if you get offended by nude bathers!

The White Spring in Glastonbury is a truly magical and peaceful place. Tucked away at the base of Glastonbury Tor, it feels like a hidden sanctuary where you can escape from the world. The sound of flowing water greets you as you step inside, and the cool, dimly lit interior creates a perfect environment for meditation and reflection. The atmosphere is raw and sacred, and the spring water is believed to have healing properties. It’s a bit dark inside, and the stone floors are often wet, adding to the mystical experience. Unlike other nearby attractions, the White Spring is not commercialised, which makes it feel more authentic and untouched. It's run by volunteers, and donations are encouraged. If you're visiting Glastonbury and want to experience something truly spiritual, the White Spring is a must-see. Just remember to bring a sense of respect and mindfulness for the space.

this was one of the more powerful experiences I’ve had in a spiritual space, I was quite taken aback and highly recommend ~ however if you are sensitive to energies (or sound) you’ll want to aim for the quiet hour they have daily in the afternoon (I believe 2:30-3:30). I first went during the quiet time and it was incredibly moving, a truly memorable experience to be inside and witness the space. I felt humbled to be in the presence of such benevolent (and complicated) energy and wept for reasons I can’t express in words, people were sitting quietly in meditation and I could feel the different energies in each part of the cave. it was truly beautiful. I decided a few hours later after climbing the Tor to go back, and when I re-entered (in a very open state, I hadn’t set anything before going in) I was completely overwhelmed by the amount of people who were broadcasting chaotic energies throughout the entire space and through the waters; drumming, shouting, singing, wailing and crying. I understand this is a powerful space and many come to purge and heal so I collected my energy and left quickly, but had I not come during the quiet hour my impression would’ve been polar opposite to what it was; soI want to gently let others like myself know there are options. I do hope you visit this space if it calls to you, it’s really magical and has a special energy ~ just check in with yourself before you go and consider the timing and/or program your field appropriately before entering if it applies to you ✨ thank you to the volunteers who keep the space open and possible for us to experience 💕🙏

This spring has been flowing for thousands of years! Locals and tourists line up to fill their water bottles with this delicious healing water on a busy day.

The White Spring is a hidden gem just opposite Chalice Well and at the bottom of Glastonbury Tor. It’s easy to miss, as there are no signs. It’s a sacred, candle-lit space with natural spring water flowing inside, it is cave-like. Entry is free, but no photos are allowed. It’ worth visiting if you’re in Glastonbury.

Beautiful, sacred, peaceful place. A must for all to experience and appreciate. No photographs allowed as would disturb the sacred nature and atmosphere. You can bathe in the spring, some people did bring towels to bathe naked. If you want to do this, be mindful everybody could see you undress and enter the water, climbing across to reach the plunge section. Free entry, no queue needed. Was slightly affected by the sound of a car alarm going off outside, and the fountain outside had people sat in it smoking so you couldn’t truly admire it.

Lovely house and gardens. Friendly staff, particularly the guide in the house who was very informative. We had tea and cake in the cafe which was ok but we did find the room quite noisy

Loved visiting here and thanks to their annual pass system I can return any time in the next year! There is a lot of information about all aspects of rural life with lots of visual information and some aural experience in the old cottage. Lovely café there too. Plenty of parking.

Great detailed coverage of past several hundred years. Farming and industrial impacts on culture and society. Some very personal stories of local characters living exceptional lives. Sustainable, influential and educational characters. Art displays cover varied styles and techniques portraying life and countryside. A lot to take in on one visit. Very good value as entry is annual ticket. Lots more to see nearby and it has a good size car park. The surprise is the great little cafe half way round. My personal favourite is the biggest exhibit: the huge stone barn.

Lovely museum. Cafe is good, even included gluten free options. We attended in order to take part in a craft workshop and really enjoyed our time there.

Far more interesting than I had thought.....and I like museums! As well as historical artifacts there were pictures, films, photos and galleries. Beautiful barn. Covered space for youngsters to relax for a while, with chairs and tables and quiet activities. There was a trail which a wide range of children seemed to enjoy. A cafe with nice drinks, cakes and light meals. Plenty of seating in and out, would be squashed inside in wet weather. Lovely orchard and small outdoor area ... there were donkeys to stroke today. Very pleasant helpful staff. A demonstration of spinning and knitting in the farmhouse kitchen. Good facilities for disabled ..... toilet, lift, ramps, but not sure about car park. Close by but didn't notice disabled spaces. In all, a place for all ages and abilities at a very reasonable price.

Whilst we never went in the Museum (next time), there is a lovely cafe in the middle that with seating outside and inside, and accepts dogs through a side entrance 😀

Interesting place to visit ( especially when you've been soaked at the Tor from a downpour 😄 ). It's not massive & so a bit pricey compared to some similar places, but the ticket does entitle you to visit as many times as you like within a year of purchase. Very friendly staff & interesting areas to look around, so I would recommend visiting if you're interested in English/west country history & traditions . Toilets were clean 👌 We didn't visit the café so I can't comment on it . We will try & visit again sometime in the next 12 months .

We went for a birthday lunch and the food was phenomenal. A much higher standard than we expected from what looks like a standard pub. The service was perfect- friendly, accommodating and helpful. Every plate was well presented, each ingredient was explained in detail and the food is delicious. The wait time was spot on so food didn’t take too long but there was enough time to relax and chat between plates and courses. We felt very welcome, including the dog! well looked after and will certainly be going back. A real treat.

The food was great and the staffs were lovely. We tried a few dishes and they were awesomely delicious. Despite a busy lunch on a summer friday, the staffs still put on smiles to serve their guests. It is definitely a place we will come back if we visit Glastonbury again. Thank you for the wonderful lunch, QC.

Searching google for somewhere to eat while visiting Glastonbury and we liked the look of the menu and managed to get in shortly before lunchtime service finished - we had no idea about the chef’s appearances on TV until we started speaking to the staff. Chose the vegan feast and the food just kept coming, all of it absolutely delicious and so beautifully presented. The pannacotta was exceptional. Left feeling totally satisfied.

The Queen of Cups head chef/ owner was on Mastechef UK. The food was tasty, it would be hard to find any fault- however have we eaten better Middle Eastern food in England… yes. The inside of the restaurant is a bit run down, and the service just so-so. Final review- although nice, not sure i would travel to this place for middle Easter cuisine.

Stopped by here and luckily got a table. An absolutely amazing lunch, everything was packed full of layers of flavour and texture. The hummus was exceptional the best I have very had, lovely cheese, delicious and super light merguez, the crips of the chicken skin was another level. The owner was warm and welcoming and bought the digest to life. If you’re in the area go here, delicious vibrant tasting food wonderful warm friendly atmosphere. A gem.

Slightly shabby chic pub with an amazing menu. Food was sensational! We had almost all of the veggie options and didn’t disappoint.

Lovely restaurant and food. We visited Friday lunchtime. Our dog was allowed in with us and we were sat in the main front room with everyone else. Starters of bread and 2 x dips was very tasty. Three mains on top was enough. A nice bottle of Chardonnay. Total £125 inc tip. Staff were very attentive. Food comes as it is ready. Recommended.

With so many dining options in Glastonbury, we were drawn to Hungry Monkeys by its fun, quirky name, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice! After a quick look at the menu and prices, we were genuinely impressed. The dishes are not only well-priced but also beautifully prepared and absolutely mouth-watering. A real standout for quality and value. Special kudos to the lovely team who took such good care of us. There was a slight delay with our food, and they were kind enough to apologise and offer complimentary tea, coffee, and cake as a goodwill gesture. We accepted the coffee but insisted on paying for dessert - it was worth every penny! The food here is clean, healthy, and made with care. Super friendly service, great atmosphere, and truly excellent value. Please support this gem of a café - you won’t regret it!

Loved breakfast here! It’s really fast and cozy and the beverages are delicious too! I got the Vegetarian Full English and a hot chai tea with some vanilla syrup on the side which I highly recommend. I ate here with some friends and sat outside and it was very relaxing.

We had lunch one afternoon and went back for breakfast the next day. Really nice feel about the space, generous and well cooked food and lovely staff and owners.

lovely vibes and really nice food! i love their breakfast and the coffee is to die for. the garden is beautiful and sunny also 🌞

One of the best breakfast in a relaxing atmosphere; the hash browns were swapped with avocado with no extra cost. Highly recommended.

I had the jackfruit burger which was great. The fries thst come with it were really good as well. The waitresses here are all very friendly and welcoming 10/10. Nice selection of herbal teas which I always appreciate and it is hard to find! I came in here because I needed to work on my laptop and needed a plug. They have 1 plug! There is this XLN free WiFi (I didn't use as I have my own). The only unfortunate thing for me was they served my tea in a dirty mug but since service was so great they changed without a fuss.

On our first trip to Glastonbury, we stopped for an early coffee. The coffee was really good—not too bitter and the perfect strength. We also sampled their delicious toasted gf banana bread. We both enjoyed the rear garden and appreciated the dog water bowl for our Lab.

"Takeaway"... Honest opinion. If could put zero stars I would. Pathetic portion size. (And if you read reviews of this place I'm not the only person to state this) Possibly fit for a child, certainly not an adult and the price for this in the picture was a whopping £28.50 (£4.50 of that was for a tiny spoon of chicken -you can just about make it out- and a slither of ham as extra toppings on the tagliatelle so just stretch your imagination as to what it would have looked like without this added 'feature') and I'm not sure where the creamy sauce is that you are meant to get. The half portion looks pretty much the same as a full. Don't waste your money. You can make it better at home. The staff don't give two hoots either, she even put the phone down on me when I called up to complain. So I called back and I eventually got a refund after talking to another member of staff and then the manager.... but this would only happen if I got in my car for another journey which isnt round the corner and bought the food back, wasting my petrol for something that should have been given adequately in the first place. The only good thing about this place is the cat in the entrance.

Love eating here with the family. Pizza is a favourite with the kids and I usually have a pasta dish. They are usually quite busy so best to book if there’s a large group of you. It’s an open kitchen so you can see how hard the chefs are working.

Lovely meal here, great food and drink, decent prices, fantastic service. Just be mindful if you struggle with heat as on a hot day, the restaurant does get very warm inside.

A real slice of Italy unexpectedly at the bottom of Glastonbury High Street. It’s a proper authentic Italian restaurant, the staff are charismatic and the food is delicious, the tomato sauce they use is amazing and makes me wish I could buy jars of it for home.

Super nice and accommodating. We were in Glastonbury for my brother's 40th birthday. Upon hearing this, they sat us down right away and sat us by the front window. Great food and kind, warm service as we were visiting from the US. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Delicious. So delicious we had to come back the next night. The most luscious carbonara I’ve ever had, AND the prosciutto & funghi pizza? Bonus. Tonight we indulged in some tiramisu, and it was exactly what was needed to round off a truly perfect (and unexpected in SW England) Italian meal. Seriously. I’d come back to town just for another helping of carbonara. And pizza. And tiramisu. 🧑‍🍳

Recommended by a friend for our first visit to Glastonbury. Lived up to the hype, with great authentic food and friendly efficient service. Make sure you leave room for the home made desserts.

We have been here a few times already, and we will keep coming back everytime we visit glastombury. The staff is really friendly and attentive, the place looks like is frozen in time, I love the decorations and furniture. The afternoon tea is amazing and their scones, one of the best I've ever tried. Lunch options are not many but always delicious... we have so far tried the shepperds pie ( amazing) and the roast pork. The desserts, if you still have space for it, are also really good, the sticky toffee pudsing is to die for. Highly recommended. Although on high season make sure you book in advance.

Best little tea shop! We loved our afternoon cream tea and scones!

So lovely very friendly staff. And dog friendly really spoilt our dog. The food was amazing and all home cooked very good prices for a very good meal. Very clean all round. And the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. If we are back this way will visit again. To the staff if you read this thank you very much for a lovely meal.

Abbey Tea Rooms was really popular and deservedly so. With all the uniqueness of Glastonbury it was refreshing to find a traditional tea room. A good selection on the menu. Dog friendly. Staff were busy but still happy, helpful and friendly. Worth visiting just for the homemade scones. Would eat here again.

We had a celebration afternoon tea at the Glastonbury tea rooms last weekend for my mother's 90th birthday. As well as the lovely tea of salmon and cream cheese sandwiches, scones, jam and clotted cream, and two delicious cakes, the cafe also kindly made us a delicious birthday decorated sponge cake ( for a very reasonable price) and bought a 90 balloon for the table. My mother is in a wheelchair which they accommodated after a little shuffling of tables. The staff were friendly, helpful and couldn't do enough to make it a memorable occasion. I can't thank them enough.

A lovely dainty little cafe in Glastonbury high street. We loved it here and the service was great and very quick! The sandwiches were gorgeous and so were the scones - highly recommend! Also they have a big selection of cakes and the Heck’s apple juice is lovely. This little place is worth a try if you need a bite to eat after looking through all the shops in town or just on a general day out 😊

I booked for Mother’s Day and came here with my parents for Afternoon Tea. Needless to say we were all seriously impressed with every aspect. The atmosphere was really lovely and the staff were kind, knowledgable and attentive. The afternoon tea itself was really tasty and,looking at some of the other options on their menu come to other tables such as the soups and roast dinner, is definitely the place you could visit over and over. I am Coeliac and was perfectly prepared to not have afternoon tea with my parents and pick something else. I was very impressed and surprised that they had a full gluten free afternoon tea, which was really amazing, and multiple other options to choose from. Overall a great experience for Mother’s Day or for any other occasion and we will certainly be back.

Fabulous small bakery with a huge range of cakes, parties and bread. I was very happy to find nice and well priced vegan products including (as per photos) Eccles cake, biscotti doughnut and glazed apple danish. Quite cheap compared to other places too

A very affordable bakery in downtown Glastonbury with 2 locations downtown. Treats for under £2. The sausage roll was average, not delicious.

Burns the Bread offers excellent value for money! The pastries and sandwiches are fresh, tasty, and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly, and the quality is consistently great. A perfect spot for a quick bite or a treat without breaking the bank!

Traditional bakery in the heart of Glastonbury. The pasty’s are high recommended and have a distinctive taste. I also ordered the traditional Glastonbury cake which was very sweet and wholesome. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Glastonbury

This is a lovely bakery. Sausage rolls are yummy the pasties and carrotcake all really nice. I have heard great things about the fruit cake so I will have to sample it. Not too badly priced for a tourist area.

Gorgeous danish pastries! I come with my mum here whenever we go to Glastonbury for a cheeky afternoon treat. Always a delight and staff are super friendly!

Delicious Glastonbury pasty and really friendly lady who served me! Love love love quality baked goods and this bakery provides just that :) kept me going as I was wild camping and metal detecting in the fields for hours on end :) Instagram / YouTube @ant_shotit
