9/6/2023 0 Comments Photographs of glastonbury tor![]() ![]() Having photographed Glastonbury Tor at sunrise, take time to go and have a look at the remains of Glastonbury Abbey as well. Car parking is very limited here but the walk up the hill, with the view back to the Tor on a misty morning, is memorable and well worth it. Look for Butleigh Road, Cow Bridge Road, Street Drove and Middle Drove where you will have excellent views across the Levels and the River Brue.Īnother excellent viewpoint, although at first it doesn’t look too promising, is Wearyall Hill. The best views are actually to be had from the south across the Somerset Levels looking back to the Tor. When you have a hill that is the highest for miles around, there is a temptation to climb to the top and shoot the view – but here’s the thing: Glastonbury Tor and St Michael’s Church are the subject. ![]() Do not leave any camera kit in your car if you do decide to risk parking in the nearby lanes. The lanes around the Tor are a haunt for car thieves. The local authority and the National Trust prevent it in the adjacent lanes, so your only option is to park in Glastonbury and walk, or catch the shuttle bus. It’s a reasonably easy walk to the top of this 500ft hill, with pedestrian access to the site from the north east via Stone Down Lane, or the south west from Wellhouse Lane.Ĭar parking is a nightmare. Rising high above the Somerset Levels, historic Glastonbury Tor is visible from up to 20 miles away on a clear day. Make the most of clear, crisp early mornings to catch the Tor at its best, but go prepared with a selection of zooms, a good map and thermal wellington boots.
