I live in a ancient town down the road called Somerton. We regularly go up the Tor on a Sunday with the kids
BEAUTIFUL SOMERSET. ( THE SUMMER PEOPLE)
Glastonbury has to be the friendlist place I've ever been to. Lots of people dancing and the air smells of spices. One guy walking up the hill banging his drum. Nobody seems to mind what others think of them.
Splendid views!..I love England!!
Lived here for 4 years x it was very healing and I gave up my city job and worked in Street just down the road xx
Europe is so beautiful
exactly what i was thinking to comment!!!
That's England not europe, every country is different here
@@medeaendor3706 I meant what I said, Europe is beautiful
@@medeaendor3706 England is in Europe. It may not be connected to continental Europe, but it is in Europe. If you're going to say England is not in Europe, you may as well say Iceland isn't in Europe either because it's land mass isn't physically connected to the European continent.
In Italy we have a similar site. It's in Tuscany, near Chiusdino, in Siena's countryside: there are the ruins of a gothic abbey, San Galgano, and nearby there's a little round chapel on the top of a steep hill; in the chapel's floor a sword is stuck in a stone. It's not King Arthur's sword though: according to legend, Galgano (a name a LOT similar to Gawain) Guidotti, a nobleman born in Chiusdino, led a dissolute life until he began having visions of Saint Michel and he converted, retired on the steep hill in a little shack and planted his sword in the ground like a cross. He died little after (1180) and the legend of the Sword in the Stone spreaded. It's worth noting that Chretien de Troyes wrote his "Le conte du Graal" in 1190 and that the life of Perceval sound a bit like a romanticised version of Galgano's one.
There are some who believe that somewhere under the chapel is hidden the Holy Grail...
Claudia Manfredini Yes, but it is still no England. ;)
Very interesting.
Rick's a seeker at glasto! Looks lovely. Thank you Rick!

No it is full of mistakes
Love Glastonbury, used to go every year to attend the Glastonbury Symposium which usually took place in the Town Hall. It was there that I met Dolores Cannon with her daughter. Ian Crane also was a regular speaker. Unfortunately it is a difficult place to get to by public transport, so overnight stays can make it a costly experience. Nevertheless, it is a place everyone should have on their “bucket list”....
nice
Best way to arrive here (Glastonbury) from London ? Thanks !!!
Es un lugar realmente hermoso, el simple echo de imaginar que algún día podré irme a vivir a este lugar me entra una emoción tremenda :’) ✨

In 1964 I moved from Liverpool to live in the next village ,Street. I worked in Glastonbury for about 18 months. A really lovely place .Then the Beatniks started to invade the place !The town was never the same !To this day many of the people who have lived there all their lives have nothing nice to say about "That event" back in 1964.
Le roi : il ne faut pas être une réponse à toi.
hello im from Glastonbury and I can tell you alternative IS NOT THE NORM
First church?? Not in England.
England's first church was St Martins in Canterbury. Missionaries, led by Augustine (later Saint) , set out from Canterbury to spread Christianity to the Angles, (not Angels 😇). There is insufficient evidence to state that Joseph of Arimathea started christianity in England at Glastonbury. Some say this account is largely myth & legend. Whereas there is evidence for St Martins.
According to the archeologist Francis Pryor Christianity was probably already well established in Britain by 409 AD.
The monks resisted Henry VIII - he hanged them

weird pronunciation of Glastonbury.
Less than four and half minutes to cover this area - what an injustice.
Odeio estes questionários 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Jesus built a Church in Glastonbury
ugh I can smell the patchouli and moldy dreadlocks from here.
Oh Henry the VIII is so cruel..I dont like him at all
That's a shame, he speaks very highly of you.
I always enjoy Ricks videos but was appalled to see and hear the vivid description of the execution of the monks of the abbey ,no need to include that.
This is full of mistakes and inaccurate information!
I have a new found respect for Henry VIII.
