Glastonbury, Market town in Mendip district, England.

Glastonbury sits 20 miles south of Bristol, featuring the prominent hill known as Tor with St Michael's Tower at its summit, overlooking Somerset's landscape.

The medieval Glastonbury Abbey, established in the 7th century, grew into a major religious center and remains one of England's earliest Christian foundations.

The town maintains numerous independent shops selling handmade crafts, organic products, and spiritual items, reflecting its connection to alternative practices and beliefs.

The central Market Place hosts regular trading events where local producers sell fresh agricultural products, crafts, and regional specialties every Tuesday and Friday.

Archaeological evidence indicates that the Tor's terraced sides were formed during the Neolithic period, creating a spiral path to the summit.
