Chalice Well sits in quiet gardens at the foot of Glastonbury Tor, its spring running a deep iron-red and never failing, even in drought. The water has drawn pilgrims for centuries, and the gardens are laid out for sitting rather than rushing. Open daily with an admission charge. The town of Glastonbury is a short walk downhill.
