Visiting Glastonbury

The festival isn’t the only legendary aspect to Glastonbury, formally the Vale of Avalon. Christ, no less, is rumoured to have visited, and Joseph of Arimathea is said to have brought the Holy Grail here. Myth has it that King Arthur’s sword Excalibur was forged nearby and the legend himself is supposedly buried at the abbey with Guinevere.
