AveburyThis town has Englands larges stone circles (not stones). In also has haunted Pub called

the Red Lion.. It is believed that Florrie lived here in the 17th century during the civil war.

Her husband was a soldier. He went off to fight in the civil war, and while he was goneshe took a lover. One night her husband returned unexpectedly from duty and discovered

his wife with her lover. In a fit of rage he shot dead his rival and stabbed his wife and

threw her body down the well and sealed it with a boulder.

Glastonbury AbbeyOnce it was the grandest and richest Abbey in England

Glastonbury AbbeyIn 1191 monks excavated a spot said to be the burial place of King Arthur, they dug down

sixteen feet, to find an oaken coffin. The coffin contained two bodies - a great man and a

woman, whose golden hair was still intact, until touched, when it crumbled away. The bodieswere said to be Arthur's and Guinevere's. A century later in 1278 the bones were placed in

caskets and transferred during a state visit by King Edward 1, to a black marble tomb before

the High Altar in the great Abbey Church. There they remained until the Abbey was

vandalized after the dissolution in 1539. No one has seen, or heard anything of them since.

Challis WellThe Chalice Well is among the best known and most loved holy wells in Britain. Many

legends are attributed to its chalybeate waters, which flow ceaselessly at a steady rate

and temperature that never varies. Not least among these is that they represent the

blood of Christ miraculously springing forth from the ground when Joseph of Arimathea

buried or washed the cup used at the Last Supper. For others the waters are

acknowledged as the essence of life, the gift from Mother Earth to sustain its living forms

and so a continuous spring like Chalice Well is a direct expression of an unbounded life

force. We drank the water and absorbed the atmosphere in the gardens while it rained.
