Wells to Glastonbury 

14 miles / 8 hours 

This walk follows the final stage of the Glastonbury Water Way, starting and finishing in two much-visited pilgrimage centres.  The route skirts the edge of the Somerset Levels, but there are a few hill climbs, so it's a day for the experienced and more energetic walker.  The pilgrimage begins at Wells Cathedral, and we will take time to savour this medieval masterpiece.  Then the walk heads out to climb the viewpoints of Worminster Down and Pilton Hill, before a stop for lunch.

In the afternoon the route climbs and traverses Pennard hill, stopping in the village of West Pennard and then heading directly to Glastonbury Tor for the final and steepest climb.  Then it's into Glastonbury to visit some of its holy wells and finish at the famous Abbey and consider some of the legends associated with this place.
