Thornbury Castle, England: a day trip to Glastonbury Abbey R

Description:
From Thornbury Castle, England, we took a day trip to Glastonbury Abbey Ruins, where King Arthur and Guenevere are buried. "Glastonbury Abbey in Glastonbury, Somerset, England, now presents itself as 'traditionally the oldest above-ground Christian church in the World' situated 'in the mystical land of Avalon' by dating the founding of the community of monks at AD 63, the legendary visit of Joseph of Arimathea, who was supposed to have brought the Holy Grail and planted the Glastonbury Thorn" according to Wikipedia.

Thornbury Castle is part of the von Essen Group of hotels, "a private collection of individual country house hotels in the UK, each with a distinctive style and character of its own" according to www.vonessenhotels.co.uk, but we think of it as Real People having Real Fun!
