Glastonbury has to be the friendlist place I've ever been to. Lots of people dancing and the air smells of spices. One guy walking up the hill banging his drum. Nobody seems to mind what others think of them.

I live in a ancient town down the road called Somerton. We regularly go up the Tor on a Sunday with the kids

BEAUTIFUL SOMERSET. ( THE SUMMER PEOPLE)

Lived here for 4 years x it was very healing and I gave up my city job and worked in Street just down the road xx

Splendid views!..I love England!!

In Italy we have a similar site. It's in Tuscany, near Chiusdino, in Siena's countryside: there are the ruins of a gothic abbey, San Galgano, and nearby there's a little round chapel on the top of a steep hill; in the chapel's floor a sword is stuck in a stone. It's not King Arthur's sword though: according to legend, Galgano (a name a LOT similar to Gawain) Guidotti, a nobleman born in Chiusdino, led a dissolute life until he began having visions of Saint Michel and he converted, retired on the steep hill in a little shack and planted his sword in the ground like a cross. He died little after (1180) and the legend of the Sword in the Stone spreaded. It's worth noting that Chretien de Troyes wrote his "Le conte du Graal" in 1190 and that the life of Perceval sound a bit like a romanticised version of Galgano's one. There are some who believe that somewhere under the chapel is hidden the Holy Grail...

@@medeaendor3706 England is in Europe. It may not be connected to continental Europe, but it is in Europe. If you're going to say England is not in Europe, you may as well say Iceland isn't in Europe either because it's land mass isn't physically connected to the European continent.

Rick's a seeker at glasto! Looks lovely. Thank you Rick!

THIS PLACE must be knowned ! I discover this famous story... Thank you !

I love what you do Rick

Great surrounding.Thanks

This is truly one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Was there a few months ago. First time. 0:57 Saw that from a distance.

Awesome... by the way, Happy Birthday Mr. Steves

Wonderful landscape.

Love Glastonbury, used to go every year to attend the Glastonbury Symposium which usually took place in the Town Hall. It was there that I met Dolores Cannon with her daughter. Ian Crane also was a regular speaker. Unfortunately it is a difficult place to get to by public transport, so overnight stays can make it a costly experience. Nevertheless, it is a place everyone should have on their “bucket list”....

nice

Your better travel girl ✨✨✨✨

Es un lugar realmente hermoso, el simple echo de imaginar que algún día podré irme a vivir a este lugar me entra una emoción tremenda :’) ✨

England is Beautiful. Hope it remains the same. Migrants should respect the culture of the place they are migrating to.

Rick Steves' Europe Very Interesting. I always thought that The Dissolution of The Monasteries was in 1539? & Not 1536AD? But just after Googling it My Friend. Your Bang On... :)

I love your videos so so so amazing and wonderful, thank you You must visit Morocco

In 1964 I moved from Liverpool to live in the next village ,Street. I worked in Glastonbury for about 18 months. A really lovely place .Then the Beatniks started to invade the place !The town was never the same !To this day many of the people who have lived there all their lives have nothing nice to say about "That event" back in 1964.

First church?? Not in England.

Le roi : il ne faut pas être une réponse à toi.

beautiful .Come to Balochistan please.Balochistan is very natural and beautiful and cultural nation

hello im from Glastonbury and I can tell you alternative IS NOT THE NORM

England's first church was St Martins in Canterbury. Missionaries, led by Augustine (later Saint) , set out from Canterbury to spread Christianity to the Angles, (not Angels 😇). There is insufficient evidence to state that Joseph of Arimathea started christianity in England at Glastonbury. Some say this account is largely myth & legend. Whereas there is evidence for St Martins.

According to the archeologist Francis Pryor Christianity was probably already well established in Britain by 409 AD.

weird pronunciation of Glastonbury.

The monks resisted Henry VIII - he hanged them

Less than four and half minutes to cover this area - what an injustice.

That's a shame, he speaks very highly of you.

I always enjoy Ricks videos but was appalled to see and hear the vivid description of the execution of the monks of the abbey ,no need to include that.

Jesus built a Church in Glastonbury

ugh I can smell the patchouli and moldy dreadlocks from here.

This is full of mistakes and inaccurate information!

I have a new found respect for Henry VIII.
