Glastonbury - "Glastonbury
Tor rises dramatically from the flat landscape of the Somerset Levels,
close to the town of Glastonbury, to a height of 158 metres (525 feet).
The Tor is topped by the tower of a ruined 15th-century church (St
Michael's). History, myth and legend surround the Tor. Dark Age and
Saxon remains excavated here suggested that it was once a Saxon
fortress, or perhaps an early Christian hermitage. Alternative
conjecture has suggested that the Tor is associated with 'ley lines' and
various earth energies; it is claimed to be the home of Gwyn ap Nudd,
the Lord of the Underworld, and others consider it to be at the centre
of a Zodiac pattern formed by surrounding field boundaries."
