Glastonbury Tor Postcard

In the heart of rural Somerset, England, rises the mystical Glastonbury Tor. This natural outcrop of the Somerset levels was once an island, when the sea reached far across the land. To some it is remembered as Avalon. Its terraced sides were once worked as the only dry place for miles in which to plant crops. Today sheep climb the steep sides, feeding upon the grass. But this practical use is not why Glastonbury Tor is internationally famous. That belongs to the otherworldly and the spiritual. The remains of a church dedicated to St Michael stand upon its summit. Some believe that there was once a stone circle up there. Day or night the pilgrims still come. Christians, Pagans and all other religions besides. Did Jesus Christ Himself once walk those slopes? Does Gwyn ap Nydd hold court in the hollow hills? Did Morgan Le Fey heal all comers from its terraces? Follow your heart and find out.
