Glastonbury Abbey Ruins



A fuller picture of the scale of this building tells us that Glastonbury was high up the spiritual ladder


 


You can still sense the magic and awe that this place once inspired
 



The fish ponds are fed from what I presume are the same springs that emerge from under The Tor

 
 
Glastonbury Abbey was destroyed by Henry 8th's Reformation in the 1500's. The unfortunate Bishop was hung from The Tor tower that overlooks the surrounding area. A very macabre end !
 
The Carp above were in the abbey ponds, and were more than happy to be fed bread ect..
 
( cant get these photo's to line up. Grrrrrr  ! )
