A 12th-century stone tomb in Glastonbury Abbey, Somerset, said to contain the remains of King Arthur and his queen, Guinevere. The tomb is a large, ornate stone coffin with a marble effigy of the legendary king and his wife, surrounded by intricate carvings and inscriptions.
Situated in the beautiful grounds of the Abbey, it is quite sad that the legendary King Arthur does not have a more befitting resting place representing his status. I know it is isn't possibly true-still though...
Beautiful place. Must pay twelve to enter the green area and the small museum included. Anyway it is worth the visit. History on the ground . It's a pity it was pouring all day long since must be really enjoyable with good weather to have a picnic near those enchanting ruins
A lovely place to visit if you are local and have a yearly pass but for the one off visit the entrance ticket is pricey, dog friendly as long as they are on lead and connected to a human. The paths are great no muddy walks around, allow at least an hour but if its a one off visit allow a good 2 to 3 hours and then pop up to the Tor on the hill. Don't believe all you read on the signs the Monks were well known for not telling the truth and they even hung a Bishop at the Tor, it's always been a place to draw in the pilgrims, l certainly don't half of it!
Just interesting informative and the most most beautiful well kept grounds. Very relaxing therapeutic visit. It was free entrance for summer 1st July. This Abby is worth the entrance fee normally charged. It's a bit of a hidden secret behind the walls. Absolutely beautiful
Glastonbury Abbey is somewhere I only discovered in 2020 even though I live quite close. Its quickly become one if my favourite places as it is a wonderful place to relax and the environment is just so peaceful. Set over 35 acres, there is room for lots of people without it feeling over crowded. Great for photos, picnics and learning about the lifestyle of the monks that used to live there. The staff are pleasant, welcoming, knowledgeable and always happy to chat. The little cafe there serves a variety of teas, coffees, snacks and ice creams. Dogs are welcome on lead. The gift shop has a beautiful range of gifts to suit everyone's budget. Highly recommended
It was purely accidental. I don't remember seeing a sign or anything. But I was in Glastonbury so hey! Anything is possible xxxx
