Glastonbury Tor in Somerset never fails to impress, no matter what the season or weather, it's easy to see why it has inspired people through the ages. An area steeped in history, mystery and magic. During prehistory Glastonbury Tor would have risen from what would have been a vast wetland environment of open water and expanses of reed, a rich and productive environment and one popular from the Neolithic to Iron Age and beyond until draining the land began in the Roman period. As you climb the long path which rises up the spine of the Tor, you are afforded views which extend for miles in all directions. The weather was cold and windy today otherwise we'd have stayed a while and really taken it all in, rather than descending as quickly as we could after are arrival at the summit.
