🇬🇧 Bristol Day Trip|A Magical Escape to Glastonbury

#bristoltrip If you’re into crystals, tarot, mystical vibes, or the legend of King Arthur, Glastonbury is a must-visit gem just 1.5 hours from Bristol. This quirky little town is packed with spiritual charm, unique shops, and scenic views—it feels like stepping into a different dimension! ✨ How to Get There 🚌 By Bus: Take the 376 bus from Bristol Bus & Coach Station and get off at Glastonbury (about 1.5 hours). Tip: You’ll pass through Wells—stop for a bit to explore the stunning Wells Cathedral if you have time! 📍 What to See & Do • Glastonbury Abbey & King Arthur’s Tomb Entry is £11 (student discount available). If you’re not super into Arthurian legend, you might skip it, but the ruins are atmospheric and great for photos. • White Spring Near the base of Glastonbury Tor, this sacred spring is known for its iron-rich, crystal-clear water. The dark, candle-lit interior adds to the mystical vibe. • Glastonbury Tor A short hike (20–25 mins) takes you to this iconic hilltop with panoramic views and the mysterious St. Michael’s Tower. The wind up there is strong—bring a jacket! 🍽 Where to Eat • Lazy Gecko Café Cozy and creative menu. • Recommended: Spicy Cajun Noodles • Skip: Pan-Fried Halloumi & Bubble & Squeak (mostly mashed potatoes with veggies—bland for some) • Knight’s Fish & Chips (Est. 1909) Legendary local spot with massive portions and crispy golden fish—classic British comfort food at its best. 🧿 Extra Tips • Explore the mystical shops filled with crystals, incense, tarot decks, and spiritual trinkets. • You’ll see locals dressed in robes, cloaks, or fairy-inspired fashion—Glastonbury fully embraces the eccentric. • Don’t forget a windbreaker—the Tor is seriously windy!
