a tor a tor a tor a

Glastonbury Tor has been a place of pilgrimage for centuries, and no wonder.  I mean look at the thing! 
The Tor with a light dusting of sheep
The only part of an ancient church that still survives, located on top of a natural midden in the middle of the countryside, a beacon for all towards the cathedrals of Glastonbury and Wells. The site of the last Bishop hanged by Henry VIII's troops. 

Windy as all get out, the top afforded a marvelous view of Somerset and was well worth the extraordinarily steep climb.


The best antidote to the climbing muscle ache would be a pint of local cider.  Which it was.
Who could resist a visit to the Tor?
