There is nothing lovelier then a climb up Glastonbury Tor to when it is all white outside with snowflakes softly falling. At the top is the roofless St Michael's Tower and myth-inspiring views. At the bottom is a short walk to town to warm with a pint of ale by the fire at the 15th century pilgrim's inn, the George Hotel.

Well, you'll need a ticket first off. But what better way to watch England's last group stage game on the big screens in front of the Pyramid Stage! Last time they showed a World Cup game I believe they had the biggest audience anywhere in the world - including the actual football stadium the game was played in! A diverse crowd with people of all ages travelling from far and wide. I'm sure there'll be great banter between the English, Scots, Irish, and Welsh, amongst other international visitors! Let's hope the sun is out :)
Excellent holiday cottages near Glastonbury, very comfortable and tranquil. Ideal for quiet break in the country.
