From the Somerset Levels, Glastonbury Tor rises to a height

of 158m. Tor is a Celtic word meaning hill or rocky outcrop. The ancient Britons appear to have called the area Ynys yr Afalon which translates to The Isle of Avalon and is claimed by some to be the Avalon associated with King Arthur.
The Tor itself has seen throughout it's history several man made structures come and go. The present tower, St Michael's Tower, is a roofless grade I listed building which has been restored and is maintained by the National Trust.
The Tor has long been associated with mythology, ranging from being an entrance to Annwn (The Land of the Fairies), to a possible site of the Holy Grail. Glastonbury as a small town has capitalised on these tales of mythology and over the years has always attracted individuals with Neopagan and New Age beliefs. File 9012.
