Attractions and Places To See around Barton St David - Top 20

This group of buildings dates back to around the 11th Century, when Glastonbury was a major pilgrimage destination. It was at first a Hospital for up to 13 sick men with a Chapel (all paid for by Queen Margaret of Scotland). Two rows of Men’s Almshouses replaced the Hospital in the 16th Century, but one row was demolished in the 1960s – its foundations are under the garden. The Mary and Margaret Charity completed a large refurbishment and repair programme in 2012, including a new stone courtyard wall and disabled access WC, and a new West garden. https://www.stmargaretschapel.org.uk/the-history/

Archaeology & History The present day Market Cross that stands in Glastonbury’s High Street, ornate though it may look, replaced a much earlier and more memorable monument. The one we see today, said Charles Pooley (1877), “at the junction of the four streets, was erected in 1846, after the design of B. Ferrey, Esq., at the instance and the cost of a private individual. It is a Gothic pinnacled structure of a simple type, with no pretensions to elaborate architectural display.”

Situated just a small walk from Glastonbury Centre, Glastonbury Tor Hill stands at a height of 158 m… The walk to the top is steep, and may require stops, but in general terms is only a small climb. The views are breath taking, on a clear day you can see across to the Bristol Channel. The views are amplified by the low land area which can be seen in every direction.
