Admittedly, until this trip I only ever had visions of mud, fields, wellies and music festivals whenever I thought of Glastonbury.
I came away with a completely different picture.
The most striking thing about the town was that almost every shop was some sort of spiritual type, there were shops selling crystal balls and other related items, and many of the shop names fit in with this theme.
I now understand that Glastonbury is also known for it’s strong pagan and spiritual religious practices.

Looks as though you missed some of the best bits of Glastonbury on your visit. The Abbey ruins are lovely, as are the Chalice Well gardens, situated just below the Tor. And no visit to Glastonbury is complete without climbing the Tor!
Hi Mary
It was a quick lunch stop (under 2 hrs) on the way home to London from a long stretch across Devon & Cornwall so you’re right…we didn’t really explore properly by the time we’d finished eating…but what we did see was an intriguing taster
😊🌟
You did well to see as much as you did, then. You will just have to go back to explore properly!
Lol – yes!!
My partner is from Glastonbury and has many colourful stories to tell – I love the feel of this town.
I have also done the last 2 festivals as a Steward but the festival isn’t in Glastonbury as the name suggests, it’s actually in the village of Pilton, which is close by.
I’ve written a Glastonbury post you may like to read. Did you walk up to Glastonbury Tor? 🙂
I didn’t realise the festival wasn’t in Glastonbury itself!! Didn’t go up to Glastonbury Tor ( just Googled it) – we only had a quick stop in the main town for lunch on the way home from a Devon/Cornwall holiday – very interesting place though!!!
A lot of people don’t realise that about the festival.
It’s a good little walk up to the Tor and w wonderful view from the hills.
Also love Devon and Cornwall. Actually, Cornwall is my favourite place in the UK and first fell in love with it back in 1985. 😉
P.S. You should do a post about your partner’s colourful Glastonbury stories lol 😉
Ha, ha it would have to be several posts and don’t think the world is ready for his stories! 😉
This is sounding even more interesting now 😜
Ahhh, the secrets – sometimes things are best left in the closet!
I love your pictures! You captured the colors so beautifully 🙂 Thank you for sharing and for stopping by my blog and checking it out!
No worries 😊

This is very illustrative, as if I was there. There you. My favourite is the one about too much of a good thing. 😀
Yes – that’s a good one!
