Hiking
Glastonbury has so many myths and legends attached to it that you can't move for tripping over some fabled history. King Arthur's tomb lies in the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey; both tomb and abbey were destroyed during the Dissolution in the 16th century. However, the tomb's location is still marked and is said to have housed the bodies of legendary King Arthur and his wife, Guinevere.
There's a charge to access the abbey ruins and the tomb. Tickets can be bought online.

You have to pay to go into the Abbey, but it is worth the admission. Within the grounds is the site that monks discovered the grave of King Arthur.
