There are many myths and legends associated with the Tor – it is the home of Gwyn ap Nudd, the Lord of the Underworld, and a place where the fairy folk live (see the Glastonbury Tor website for more myth & history). The Tor is now owned and cared for by the National Trust. Between April & October the Tor Bus runs between the Magdalene Street car park and the base of the Tor. There is free access to the public at all times.

Bride’s Mound is a small hill to the west of Glastonbury in an area called Beckery island.

Known as the ‘Oaks of Avalon’, the two trees are said to be a traditional point of entry onto the island, and were also part of a ceremonial Druidic avenue of oak trees running towards the Tor and beyond. Sadly, Gog is now dead but his remains are still there. Magog is also close to the end of her life.

A Temple to honour of the Spirit of the White Spring. The White Spring water flows through it, as does the Ley Line known as the Michael line. Cavernous and set apart, in blackness or candle lit, mysterious it remains. A stark contrast to the wonderful gardens of Chalice Well of the Red Spring.
