Welcome to Glastonbury Abbey. We host school parties of all ages and many nationalities to visit us throughout the year. The buildings of the Abbey span 2000 years of history and within our grounds is the burial place of the legendary King Arthur. Glastonbury Abbey is believed to be one of the first Christian settlements in Britain. It was the last Abbey in Somerset to be destroyed at the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The central towers still remain, as does the 14th century Abbot's kitchen. This is now used as a theatre for our team of Living History interpreters and houses an interactive display showing how a medieval kitchen might have been equipped.
