노스 우튼 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

서머싯 평원(Somerset levels) 위로 극적으로 솟아오른 글래스턴베리 토르(Glastonbury Tor)는 영국에서 가장 신비롭고 상징적인 랜드마크 중 하나입니다. 이곳은 숨 막힐 듯 아름다운 자연경관과 수 세기에 걸친 풍부한 민속, 고대 전설, 그리고 영적인 역사가 완전히 어우러진 장소입니다. 산책로: 정상까지 가는 길은 계단식 잔디 언덕을 따라 이어집니다. 오르막길이 다소 가파르긴 하지만, 한 걸음 한 걸음 내디딜 때마다 펼쳐지는 완만한 시골 풍경과 멘딥 힐스(Mendip Hills), 그리고 날씨가 맑은 날에는 웨일스까지 이어지는 탁 트인 파노라마 전망이 그 수고를 보상해 줍니다. 세인트 마이클 타워(St. Michael’s Tower): 정상에는 지붕이 없는 14세기 세인트 마이클 타워가 서 있습니다. 한때 언덕 꼭대기를 장식했던 중세 교회의 유일한 흔적으로, 스카이라인에 놀랍도록 분위기 있고 역사적인 느낌을 더해줍니다. 신화와 미스터리: 아서 왕의 전설(종종 아발론 섬과 연결됨)과 고대 이교도들의 설화가 깃든 토르에는 부정할 수 없는 마법 같은 분위기가 흐릅니다. 일출을 감상하고, 산들바람을 느끼며, 영국 유산의 평화롭고 시대를 초월한 한 조각을 만끽하기에 환상적인 장소입니다.

This group of buildings dates back to around the 11th Century, when Glastonbury was a major pilgrimage destination. It was at first a Hospital for up to 13 sick men with a Chapel (all paid for by Queen Margaret of Scotland). Two rows of Men’s Almshouses replaced the Hospital in the 16th Century, but one row was demolished in the 1960s – its foundations are under the garden. The Mary and Margaret Charity completed a large refurbishment and repair programme in 2012, including a new stone courtyard wall and disabled access WC, and a new West garden. https://www.stmargaretschapel.org.uk/the-history/
