There are many great bed and breakfast hotels to stay at around the magical little township of Glastonbury, Somerset. Everything from cosy farm houses to spiritual retreats you are bound to come across a place for everyone.
In the middle of Glastonbury itself is the traditional Hotel, Heaphy's - by the town centre, serving fine ales and food, comfortable rooms to rest tired bodies after lots of walking.
Glastonbury itself is well worth spending some time in with lots of new age shops and Glastonbury Abbey is a great place to go and has spectacular concerts in the summer evenings. Built in the 7th century, the abbey was burnt down in the 12 th century, and supposedly house the graves of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere.
Another popular attraction, the gardens and well of Chalice Gardens is famous for its red and white springs which comes from the Tor nearby. The red spring flows through ferrous minerals giving it a red colour, supposedly beneficial for anaemia it is said, and the white spring runs through limestone to come out clear (hence it is called the white spring). The chalice gardens themselves are a peaceful place through which the springs go through. The water itself can be obtained for yourself in your own water bottles in adjacent well house lane and people come from miles around to get the water.
There is the famous Tor which is only for the energetic as it is quite a climb up the footpath and on the top is the remains of a 14th century church tower. The climb has its rewards however for the spectacular view from the summit of the Somerset countryside.
