The tor was well worth the short hike. Lovely views and even on a wet windy day was a lovely walk. As for Glastonbury itself I was very disappointed. Looked rather run down and somewhere that you could imagine the apocalypse starting. The town is just spiritual shops and cafes which was a bit boring as it lacked verity. The Abby has an expensive entry cost so gave it a miss. Parking was good for October but can imagine in summer there is a shortage.

Magical place, worth the walk to get there. I had the privilege to be on a foggy magical day, the views were beautiful since it opened and closed like a walz... will definitely come back. Take one way up and look for a different way to go down to enjoy many perspectives of the place. Enjoy!

I cost Glastonbury pretty much every year with my family and always enjoy it. It’s such a magical place! Climbing the Tor is always tiring but also a lovely walk where you can take in all surroundings… the vibes is there in the summer are so lovely, there’s always people playing music and dancing. Highly recommend this as a family walk in the summer. It’s a magical place.

There is a good route up the tor, but it’s not good for anyone with mobility issues. In extreme weather- wind, rain, snow etc be very careful as it’s high up and there is no shelter at the top or on the way up. Once on the top there are good views of the surrounding area and the church is an interesting sight with a bit of information inside.

Bit of a climb - but steps helpful. Lovely views - worth the effort. Great character. If you want to take a 360 panorama photo you have to knock a tower down - better to leave it.

Once upon a time there was a town. That town had been established for thousands of years. Countless generations had passed through, settled, moved on, moved back, resettled, moved again, returned, had children, passed on their genes, etc, etc. The town had survived, flourished, even. On a hill in the village, a church had been erected. The hill, or tor, as it was later discovered to be, had that church stop it for centuries and gathered it's detritus as the church slowly fell apart leaving only a tower remaining. Humans flocked to see that tor from miles away. Then, one day, a local thought it would be a good idea to fill a field with minstrels and invite people to pay and watch them perform. And watch while drowning in mead. Soon they came, from all across the land. The Crappy Fudays, Smiley Binload, Diana Moss, The Beesknees, etc al all performed and the Tor was largely ignored while the merriment continued. Or something like that. Meanwhile, Glastonbury is a lovely place and the Tor is very much worth seeing. Just avoid the minstrels like the plague. And avoid the plague.

The tor dominates the landscape and can be seen from miles away. Conversely, the 360 degree views over the surrounding countryside are excellent if you get to the top. Its a very steep climb. We came up the back way which isn't signed the best but we made it. Last time we climbed the tor - 12 years ago - we didn't see any signs and climbed up the tor without sighting a footpath. Extremely hazardous and we laugh about it now. It was tad terrifying back then. Anyway, we found a footpath this time. Still very steep, though. There were a number of people silently chanting and 'dancing' when we were there. It's supposed to be a very spiritual place but that bypassed me. There is a metal guide up there showing points of interest around the place but a group of people were sat on it making it very difficult to read. Yes, there are rude people even up on the tor. Worth a visit if you're in Glastonbury but be prepared to be puffed.

Decided to visit the Tor while we were in the area and glad we did. It wasn’t that strenuous considering we’re 60 and not particularly fit but we definitely needed the rest once we got to the top and enjoyed the stunning 360 views while we recovered. Whilst there isn’t any parking specifically for this, there is parking in the town. I would recommend taking a bottle of water if it’s a warm day.

Wow!! Amazing. Such a wealth of history with superb views of the English countryside. Glad we made the effort to walk to the top. Stopped at Glastonbury village too. What a fabulous array of shops & people, we loved the atmosphere!

The highest point for miles around, you get fantastic views from the top. I parked in town in St Dunstans car park and walked ten minutes to the start of the steps on Wellhouse Lane. You could park cheaper opposite the lane in R&J Drapers shoe factory (£3 for 3 hours, £5 whole day). The path starts about 5m into Wellhouse Lane and is marked by a small sign on the right (see picture). It’s a good 20 min steep walk to the top via the steps, I’d recommend taking water.
