在美丽的萨默塞特郡的这一部分,你会发现戏剧性的格拉斯顿伯里托(Glastonbury Tor)占据了天际线。

在格拉斯顿伯里,历史、神话和传说结合在一起,使大多数游客不能不感受到这个小镇的 "氛围 "和强大的气氛。 因为格拉斯顿伯里不仅是英格兰基督教的摇篮,而且据说还是亚瑟王的埋葬地。

远处的Glastonbury Tor

格拉斯顿伯里被认为是基督教之前的一个崇拜场所,也许是因为它位于托尔边上,托尔是格拉斯顿伯里周围山丘中最高的,也是一个极好的自然景观。 从照片中可以看出,托尔周围有一种梯田形式,被解释为基于古代神秘图案的迷宫。 如果是这样,它应该是在四、五年前创造的在托尔的顶端有一座毁坏的中世纪教堂,其塔楼依然存在。

两千年前,在托尔的脚下有一个巨大的湖泊,叫做 "Ynys-witrin",即玻璃岛。 格拉斯顿伯里与传说中的阿瓦隆的联系部分来自于此,因为在凯尔特人的民间传说中,阿瓦隆是一个充满魔力的岛屿,是死者的聚集地。

传说中,亚瑟王和他的妻子吉尼维尔被埋葬在格拉斯顿伯里修道院的院子里,在女礼拜堂的南面,在两根柱子之间。 修道院的僧侣们听到了这个传言,决定在这里进行挖掘,并发掘出一块石板,在石板下发现了一个铅制的十字架,上面刻着拉丁文:""。 Hic iacet sepultus inclitus rex arturius in insula avalonia" 此外,还发现了一些小骨头和一撮头发。

在国王爱德华一世访问修道院时,这些骨头被装进了棺材,并被埋在修道院主教堂的一个特殊的黑色大理石墓中。 在修道院解体期间,修道院被洗劫一空,大部分被毁,这些棺材也丢失了,至今没有找到。 今天,一块告示牌标明了亚瑟最后安息的地方。

圣杯的传说将亚瑟王的神话和传说与亚利马太的约瑟夫在格拉斯顿伯里建造第一座教堂的故事结合在一起。格拉斯顿伯里的传说中,男孩耶稣和他的叔叔亚利马太的约瑟夫在格拉斯顿伯里大教堂的所在地建造了第一座瓦片和涂鸦的教堂。

耶稣受难后,传说约瑟夫带着圣杯来到英国,圣杯是基督在最后的晚餐中使用的,后来约瑟夫在受难时用圣杯接住了他的血。 到达阿瓦隆岛后,约瑟夫将他的法杖插入地下。 早上,他的法杖已经生根发芽,长成了一个奇怪的荆棘丛,即神圣的格拉斯顿伯里荆棘。

据说约瑟夫将圣杯埋在托尔下面,那里有一个泉眼,现在被称为圣杯井,开始流淌,水被认为能给喝它的人带来永恒的青春。

据说许多年后,亚瑟王和圆桌骑士的任务之一就是寻找圣杯。

壮观、广阔、雄伟的修道院废墟就位于镇上的主干道旁,那里的许多商店都从事神秘物品和工艺品的销售。 格拉斯顿伯里以其神话、传说和雷线成为新时代文化和精神治疗的中心。

该镇拥有丰富的历史建筑。 旅游信息中心和湖村博物馆位于法庭内,这是一座15世纪的建筑,被认为是修道院的法庭。 萨默塞特农村生活博物馆以14世纪的谷仓为中心。
