Description
alleged site of the king of the fairies Gwyn ap Nudd. The Tor came to be represented as an entrance to Annwn or Avalon, the land of the fairies. Glastonbury Tor is one of the possible locations of the Holy Grail. This is because it is close to the location of the monastery that housed the Nanteos Cup. The Tor has been associated with the name Avalon, and identified, since the alleged discovery of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere's neatly labelled coffins in 1191, with the legendary hero King Arthur. Modern archaeology has revealed a fort, dated to the 5th century.

There are many forms of retreat offered at Abbey House, but they all offer the chance to step back from the pressures of daily life, to enter a deeper peace, with the opportunity to pray and to encounter God. A wide variety of people come to Glastonbury. Some are closely involved in the life of their church, others find a retreat centre to be a more natural place to nourish their spiritual side than a mainstream religion. While remaining faithful to its role as a diocesan retreat house in the Church of England, Abbey House welcomes people from a wide range of churches, traditions and backgrounds. Some retreats are designed as group experiences where input from facilitators, group work, and private time in silence weave together to create an enriching experience. Other retreats are individually-guided and enable a deep spiritual encounter to happen in solitude, helped by daily meetings with a guide, where there is an opportunity to talk about the day's experiences, and clarify the next step of the prayer journey. Abbey House offer a range of individually guided retreat plans to help you - topics include Nature, Spirituality, Time to Think and Pray and The Benedictine Way. Morning prayer takes place every Friday at 9am in the chapel. There are opportunities to attend Morning Prayer and a Eucharist most days in a local church - all are within 5-10 minutes walk of the house.
