Glastonbury Tor in Somerset is the centre of a magical realm where ley lines meet and the powers of the ancient earth goddess … oh hang on, that’s all bollocks.

While many destinations featured in this book rest their appeal on some pretty spurious grounds, Glastonbury Tor pulls the crowds based on the fact that it is the last resting place of King Arthur – and it’s magic. Actually magic.

The Tor is a hill outside Glastonbury village, at the top of which is St Michael’s tower, a small building without a roof that, while quite nice, is still just a small building without a roof. People in shanty towns throughout the world have these and few find the time to boast about them.
