Glastonbury Tor

Glastonbury Tor is a conical hill in Somerset topped by the remaining tower of St Michael's Church. The site combines prominent terraced slopes with a three-storey, roofless stone tower set on the summit, and it stands isolated above the low-lying Somerset Levels. The Tor is managed as a scheduled monument and National Trust property.

As it stood in 1350

What Glastonbury Tor looked like in its prime.

A solitary conical hill of green terraced slopes capped by a three-storey sandstone church tower; Bridport sandstone walls show coursed blocks, corner buttresses and tall perpendicular bell openings beneath a crenellated parapet with a carved tablet. A pointed arched west doorway opens at the summit; the terraces form concentric grassy steps down the hill. The Tor sits exposed above flat, watery Somerset Levels, paths cut into the grass lead up to the summit and the tower stands roofed over the church in its prime.
