and the Mendip Hills tour

Mythology, the holy grail and King Arthur legends

  • WELLS CATHEDRAL
  • CHEDDAR GORGE
  • BISHOPS PALACE
  • GRAIL LEGEND 

 

Visit Glastonbury Abbey, one of Europe’s oldest Christian foundations, once England’s richest monastery and legendary burial place of King Arthur. Historians now agree that a warrior King lived in 5th century England, and defended the country from the invading Anglo Saxons, (the English) this may well be the source of the legend of King Arthur.

Could Glastonbury Abbey also be the last resting place of the Holy Grail? Your guide will be able to enlighten you on the latest theories. The unique 500 ft landmark of Glastonbury Tor (steep hill), rising sheer from the Somerset levels seems to be the inspiration behind the stories.

Tour the City of Wells, officially England’s smallest City, much of its medieval character remains intact. Visit the beautiful Cathedral, moated Bishops Palace and see the oldest complete medieval street in Europe. Tour Cheddar Gorge, a spectacular ravine cut through the Mendip Plateau. Limestone rocks rise 400 ft on either side.
