Glastonbury is a small, friendly market town set in the beautiful countryside of Somerset. The Tor dominates the landscape alongside the ruins of the Abbey around which the town was established. Glastonbury has both a medieval and spiritual history which has attracted over the years a diverse population who live alongside many long established families in the area. This all contributes to the uniqueness of the town now famous for the annual Glastonbury Festival.
