It is this complex mix of Christian and Pagan myths that provide the town with its unique character. More recently Glastonbury has reinforced its reputation as a special earth-sacred site where many leys meet, come together and diverge, connecting with the other power centres of the world. The factual history of Glastonbury sits alongside the myths of Avalon with its links to King Arthur. The lead was stripped from the roofs and the buildings were left to decay. The Abbey was closed as a result of the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII. This great monastery drew pilgrims from all corners of the kingdom and helped ensure that Glastonbury became a thriving town. Glastonbury was one of the wealthiest Abbeys in the land, its Abbot playing a major part in the ruling of England. By the Middle Ages this had become the great Benedictine Abbey the remains of which can be seen today. Dunstan began building a new Abbey in 950 AD and this was based around an earlier wooden church. Glastonbury is a small market town with a unique heritage dominated by the "Tor", which can been seen from many miles across the Somerset Levels.

It is better at showing footpaths than the OS in some places. OpenStreetMap is an opensource global crowd sourced map. OSNI (then Basemap Gallery / 4 squares icon, then 25K or 50K) OSI and OSNI produce paper 1:50K and some 1:25K maps. There are paper 1:25K maps for both Isle of Man and the Channel Islands Ordnance Survey (OS) mapping covers England, Wales and Scotland - not Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands.
