If you are on a budget, you can choose to stay at the local Travelodge or at the Premier Inn. However, for such a tiny town, Glastonbury has a lot to offer and often a day trip won’t be enough to experience it all. I have traveled a lot into spiritual countries, like Peru and India, and it was a bit strange to see this entire community transposed into a town in Somerset. Once you step into Glastonbury town you will feel and see that this is a place of pilgrimage and sanctuary where people come to search their inner peace. Second, Glastonbury is a place like no other in the United Kingdom. The first thing I have to tell you is that the Glastonbury festival doesn’t really take place in the village but in a field near Pilton, a town almost 8 miles away. We have all heard about Glastonbury and its famous festival that takes place here each summer, but how many of us do know anything about this small town? I have visited Glastonbury this spring and I was surprised to find a charming little place with a very strong character and a lot of magic surrounding it.
