Glastonbury Day Trip Guide

1. Recommended day trip to Glastonbury. From Bristol city centre you can take bus route 376 directly to Glastonbury. The bus ride was very picturesque, with cows and sheep visible and passing through the woods. The round trip cost of four pounds was great value. When I was a child, I heard the legendary stories of the wizard Merlin, the Sword in the Stone, and the Knights of the Round Table. I didn’t expect to see the real version of King Arthur’s Tomb in the UK. 3. Glastonbury Abbey was built in the 8th century and is a Grade I protected building in the UK. It has been performing its religious functions. In 1191, the abbot at the time discovered a huge hollow oak trunk five meters underground with two skeletons inside. On the lead cross was an inscription that translated to "Here lies the famous King Arthur of Avalon." However, there is still no consensus on whether King Arthur really existed in history. Scholars believe that King Arthur's tomb is more likely to be built to commemorate a general who made great contributions to the regional Saxon attacks in the fifth and sixth centuries. 4. Whether the legend of King Arthur is true or not, it is still very pleasant to sit on the beautiful lawn of Glastonbury, look at the majestic and mysterious ancient buildings, and feel the tranquility and beauty of the park. 5. The legend of King Arthur is full of magic, and the town of Glastonbury is also full of magical elements. On the road, there are old men wearing Merlin's clothes setting up stalls to take photos, and there are also various magic-related things, which are quite mysterious.
