  • Glastonbury, Somerset | Guided Tour of the Town and Festival & the history of Glastonbury.
    A long spiritual history including King Arthur and the Holy Grail, and the site of the Glastonbury Music festival - this town is completely unique in the UK. Join us for a guided walking tour of Glastonbury's weird and wonderful History and culture.
    Glastonbury Somerset in 4K.
    It's full of New Age shops and historic sites like Glastonbury Tor linked with the legends of Avalon, Glastonbury Abbey - the supposed burial site of King Arthur and the Chalice Well with its links to the Holy Grail.

    Thank you As a shop owner in Glastonbury (Dicketts Art Supplies) it's great to see even in a short time of perhaps 3 years the changes that are ever occurring.
    Really appreciate the constant documentation of our history. All the best for the future Steve

      Well good morning to you Steve. What a pleasure to hear from a shop owner in Glastonbury and to hear that in the last 3 years good changes that are occurring.
      All the best to you and your shop too. We'll have to pop by and say hello if we visit again.

    Loved the walk through with the guide, I've not been for many a moon and it reminded me of just how completely different Glastonbury is to most every other UK town, apart from perhaps Totnes. Loved the guy in the pith helmet at 11! Thanks as always.

    • @LivingWalks
      @LivingWalks  6 місяців тому +2

      Ah yes the lovely Totnes! We do have a walk through there incidentally. We certainly need more of an independent spirit in our UK towns for sure.

    Home of the Glastonbury Music Festival - Glastonbury Somerset is a truly unique setting, with its rich history linked to King Arthur and Joseph of Arimathea.

    I thoroughly enjoyed that with all those facts & figures as the only thing I knew about Glastonbury was its festival as it wouldn't be something I'd be interested in, but your video definitely piqued my interest in the town.

Hope you get to visit someday. We'd love to hear your narration on it for sure. All the best to you mate.

    i wanted to go there but i was waiting for summer here. problem is i didn't have enough time to book something off. now it's the end of summer :( wanted to go before the festival. although I'm a Londoner I think I could live here. Seems lively enough and full of things I like - witchy shops and bookshops. 10 degrees? oh no can do.

      Actually if you were a native here you would see they are intertwined. Many of our talented residents residents run stalls there. Many residents are lucky enough to get free tickets for camping and helping. It always creates interest for us.

    Too much drivel about the music festival and not enough about Glastonbury itself... such as of course the Tor, Chalice Well or indeed the Abbey. Filming was good but narration could have been better.

    • @LivingWalks
      @LivingWalks  2 місяці тому

      Thanks for your thoughts Gary, this was put up close to the festival, to give festival goers an overview of the town. We do plan to return for a more in depth walk and talk and will plan to cover the abbey and the tor in that. All the best to you.
