 - Glastonbury Tor, some 525 feet high (160 m), has been called the 'Heart of England'.

It is an enigmatic sacred landmark, one of the most important early Christian sites in southern Britain, but first of all, a sacred pagan place for many centuries before the legendary arrival there of St. Joseph of Arimathea bearing the Holy Grail.The place is surrounded by numerous legends, going back through medieval times and continuing today.A system of terraces that encircles Glastonbury Tor (Celtic word 'tor' means 'hill or mountain') has long been thought of as a gigantic labyrinth based on ancient pattern.Was the Tor an important center of a fertility cult based on an earth goddess myth? Or is it the legendary island of Avalon associated with the grave of King Arthur?Legends and myths, sometimes ancient carvings are our only legacy from secretful and strange places. Avalon was such a place, difficult to imagine and available only to a small circle of people.Avalon - associated with Glastonbury Abbey - is said to be located in the county of Somerset,It is sometimes said that the island of Avalon is hidden beneath the water's surface, but there is also a legend that describes the way to Avalon.
