Welcome to Glastonbury Abbey

Glastonbury AbbeyThe ruins of England’s largest abbey – still magnificent and evocative, a tribute to the monks who built it. Visit and be moved by its tragic history; discover legends about King Arthur and Joseph of Arimathea that make it unique; sense the prayerfulness, where people have worshipped for almost 2,000 years.

Find tranquillity or enjoy a picnic in 36 acres of grounds. After thousands of snowdrops in early spring come the English daffodils and bluebells, then drifts of wildflowers in long grass as the year goes by. Look for butterflies and moths; dragonflies and birds.

From March to October, meet characters from the abbey’s past in our living history. Watch craftsmen demonstrating skills from its heyday or enjoy music in the Abbot’s Kitch
