Glastonbury Tor rises dramatically from the flat scenery of the Somerset Levels, at the foot of the city of Glastonbury, to a height of 158 meters (525 feet). The Tor is topped by the steeple of a ruined 15th-century church (St Michael's). The hill and its approaches are owned by the National Trust, and propose self-sufficient social access, but guests are recommended to stroll there from the centre of the town, or to take the 'Tor Bus', thanks to car parking restrictions around the property. Panoramas from the summit are incredible in all directions - north to Wells, the Mendips and the Bristol Channel; east to Shepton Mallet and Wiltshire; south to the Polden Hills, west to the Quantocks and Exmoor. Heritage, myth and legend surround the Tor. Dark Age and Saxon remains excavated here suggested that it was once a Saxon fortress, or perhaps an early Christian hermitage. Alternative conjecture features suggested that the Tor is associated with 'ley lines' and different earth energies; it's claimed to be the home of Gwyn ap Nudd, the Lord of the Underworld, and others consider it to be at the very heart of a Zodiac pattern formed by nearby field boundaries.
