"Everytime I was in Glastonbury, I was visiting The Abbey - love this tranquil place. It's a lovely area to spend the time. No rush, peace and quiet. There is King Arthur's Tomb, Lady Chapel, Abbot's kitchen, a big pond to walk around. A vast area, really. Apart from visiting the Abbey, I always climb the Tor and pay a visit to Chalice Well and Gardens. Glastobury has drawn me so many times. Maybe I'll be there again one day."

"We visited Glastonbury Abbey on Tuesday and had a wonderful time revisiting a place that holds many fond memories from my childhood. It’s been quite a while since my last visit — the entrance fee has certainly increased from the 20p it cost back in the 1980s! — but the magic and atmosphere of the site remain every bit as special. I explored the grounds using my mobility scooter, and despite the gravel terrain, I found it to be accessible and easy to navigate. The only part I couldn’t reach was the lower floor of the Lady Chapel, but this didn’t detract from the overall experience in the slightest. We did try to find the museum but couldn’t locate it — perhaps it has moved? A little more signage would be helpful there. On a personal note, the Abbey serves as the setting for my third murder mystery novel, Murder at the Monastery, and it was fantastic to revisit the location and soak in the atmosphere for inspiration. All in all, we spent a lovely couple of hours exploring this historic and evocative site. Glastonbury Abbey remains a truly special place, and I highly recommend a visit for anyone interested in history, legend, or simply enjoying a peaceful and scenic spot."

"I have long wanted to visit the ruins of the famous abbey, where the remains of the legendary King Arthur (a very tall man, more than 2 meters tall) and his wife, Queen Guinevere, were found, and what I saw was very impressive. The place has amazing energy. Friendly people will explain everything in the information center. There is also a cafe. You can spend several hours without noticing how pleasantly the time passed.🙏🙏👍"

"I visited the abbey as a part of a day trip to Glastonbury and because I didn’t get to do it the last time I was in Glastonbury. The admissions desk staff were really helpful and friendly and gave good information. The abbey grounds are a lot bigger than I thought and I could see it being a lovely place to have a picnic with a family. There was plenty of information dotted around. Of course photos of Arthur and Guinevere’s resting place is a must. I’d do it again with my family."

"We've not been to Glastonbury Abbey in many years and had forgotten just how beautiful it is. So much space to walk around and so much history. I got around on my mobility scooter with ease. Plenty of seating to sit and enjoy our picnic. Sitting by the pond is so relaxing. We had a fabulous day and will be returning soon."
