We will be staying in the heart of the spiritual Mecca, which is the Somerset town of Glastonbury, where we will be visiting the famous Glastonbury Tor, the Abbey, which is said to be the final resting place of King Arthur and his wife Guinevere. The Chalice Well Gardens with its red and white springs, healing pool and peace garden is also a place of pilgrimage and we will visit hear after taking in Joseph of Aramathea's Holy Thorn. Also we will take a trip to the edge of town to the grave of the author and founder member of the Society of the Inner Light, Dion Fortune. We will then have free time to explore Glastonbury town and to experience the spiritual atmosphere, which seems to hang in the air. The town has many new age and esoteric shops to visit as well as some excellent bookshops. On the journey down
