Like many towns in England Glastonbury marked the millennium. Not with a large clock or a statue, but with a walking trail which highlights the history of the town through its architecture. It’s lovely to see the increasing number of people walking in Glastonbury along the old pilgrim routes, some using the millennium map, some on guided tours.
The town is on a fairly gentle slope, so is suitable for all levels of fitness and ability, and with a map you can take your time, set your own pace and pause when and where you like.
There are brass plaques at various places along the route, some in the pavement, and some set in walls. It takes about one hour at a leisurely pace to complete the walk, which begins and ends at the Town Hall.
I was very pleased to see that Kylemore is mentioned on the plaque opposite our house as “the pretty 18th century Georgian house” – well, we can only agree!
The eight page guide can be downloaded from the Glastonbury Antiquarian Society’s website here, where it has been enlarged and alternate routes provided by local historian and antiquarian Mr. Neil Bonham.
One correction – the Tourist Information Office has moved from the Tribunal building to St. Dunstan’s House, which is next to the Abbey car park. It’s well worth a visit.

I am very happy to announce that we are now offering courses, retreats and spiritual workshops here at Kylemore House. Many of our visitors have commented on the healing ambience of the house and its garden, and we look forward to offering a fascinating and diverse range of workshops and other experiences.

My own teaching will be taking place almost exclusively here at Kylemore. We have our own page on Facebook, entitled Glastonbury Hermetics, where you can see our current events. The next two diary dates are

• Saturday 1 September 2018: Introduction to Western Ritual Practice
  
• Saturday 6 October 2018: Dion Fortune and the Grail Mysteries - an experiential workshop
  

All our events can also be seen at my website.

Because we aim to provide a rich programme of retreats, experiences and trainings, we will also be hosting events by many other workers in the spiritual field. Our first invited workshop was Eloise Bennett's Angelic Reiki I & II. We were delighted to welcome Eloise and all the students considered the two-day workshop a great success. We have already booked Eloise for more weekend workshops including
Journeys into the Heart© The Inner Path on 8-9 September

If you are interested in our courses, or would like to discuss using our space for workshops, you can contact me directly.
