Joye Rutherfard Texas, USA. Need some history on Number Three Hotel.... Frederick Bligh Bond When the Church of England bought the Abbey ruins and its surrounding land at a ceremonial auction attended by the King and Queen in 1907, the Church appointed the mediaeval archaeologist Frederick Bligh Bond to lead the excavations. For fourteen years he lived at Number Three, then known as Abbotsleigh,and it was here that he received the automatic writing that led to his extraordinary discoveries.

| Glastonbury and Local Interest The Town and its facilities Glastonbury, England is a very busy and unique provincial town. Being small, it has never attracted the large multi-national chains and commercial shops. Yet its history, landscape and special atmosphere has brought together a vibrant and artistic community that has resulted in farmers markets, travelling theatre groups, excellent live music and a network of cafes and bookshops. Everybody has heard of the famous mid-summer Glastonbury Festival, but in fact this is just the largest in a series of summer long festivals which are based around music, dance, art, spirituality, poetry, crafts: there is even a special children's festival every year in August. The Glastonbury Tourist Office can give details of events coming up and provide information on public transport, ticket availability etc. We can arrange taxi pick-ups from the nearest train station at Castle Cary (14 miles away on the London Paddington Taunton line) or Sherborne (16 miles on the London Waterloo Exeter St. David's line).We can also put you in touch with very good professional guided tours of the local surrounds and further afield from Stonehenge and Avebury to Tintagael and Cornwall. |
| Local interest The Tor, Chalice Hill, the Chalice Well gardens, Wearyall Hill, the famous ancient processional trees known as Gog and Magog these extraordinary places and sites will be known to quite a few visitors to the town within a short visit. Outside of Glastonbury are other amazing discoveries which can be made if your stay is longer:Wimble Toot, Dundon Hill, Cadbury Castle, Maggotty Paggotty, the old lake village of Meare, ancient county capital Somerton, and the cathedral cities of Wells, Bath and Bristol. |
