So Stonehenge was pretty cool. Sadly, we couldn’t get too close to it, so it was a little small. Check out the pictures, linked bellow!
We then drove over to Glastonbury, said to be the location of the Isle of Avalon, the final resting place of King Arthur. We checked out the old Abbey of Glastonbury, which was completely torn down. It is said that the Abbey is the oldest Christian Church, and that Joseph of Arimathia visited here on a few occasions (locals say that he even brought Jesus). It is even said that Joseph brought the Holy Grail here, and washed it in the well. Whether or not the stories are true, there is a lot of history here. Overlooking the abbey is a large Tor, with a small tower on top, the last remnants of a small, sister abbey. Sadly, Cromwell, had the Glastonbury Abbeys destroyed, so ruins are all that are left.
