Glastonbury Abbey is connected with legend to a degree that is unparalleled by any other abbey in England. Since Medieval times it has held legendary status as the earliest Christian foundation in Britain linked to Joseph of Arimathea and the burial place of King Arthur. Today it is a tranquil setting with 36 acres in which visitors can discover the stories behind Glastonbury Abbey with tours from costumed Living History presenters, an accredited museum, shop, outdoor café and packed events programme; new for 2018 afternoon teas and pre-theatre suppers in a Tudor Gothic Manor House.
