Glastonbury, a historic town in Somerset, England, is famous for its myths, legends, and the world-renowned Glastonbury Festival. Explore its abbey, scenic spots, and vibrant cultural scene for a unique experience. Glastonbury is steeped in myth and mystery, linked to King Arthur — legends say Glastonbury Abbey is his final resting place, an Ancient pilgrimage destination

This mix of fact, folklore, and spirituality is a huge part of its charm.

If you wish to visit the Abbey it's around £14 please purchase tickets here https://www.glastonburyabbey.com/buy-admission.php?&date=2026-01-17#calendarto

Cheddar Gorge is a dramatic natural landmark in Somerset, famous for its towering limestone cliffs, prehistoric caves, scenic walks, and as the birthplace of Cheddar cheese. It’s one of the UK’s most impressive outdoor sights and works brilliantly as a coach stop or half-day visit. England’s largest gorge (up to 137 metres deep)

Formed during the last Ice Age, Part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Mix of wild scenery + accessible attractions. You get big views without needing to hike far, which makes it perfect for groups.
