For the walker its a route that feels like your own mini quest… with its own Holy Grail to aim for right at the end of it! Route Description The one constant as you walk, is that you are always following a trail that is sweeping onwards down the ley lines towards that unmistakeable and perfect conical shaped Tor. The walk from Wells Cathedral uses the historic Monarch’s Way and takes you through shady apple orchards, over ancient wooded downs and finally along a lofty ridge that rises over the extensive Somerset Levels. Walking in from Wells, you avoid the day-trippers by sneaking up to the Tor from the East, appropriately hobbit-like on a “back door” route through a swathe of hidden, rural Somerset. And if you are going to arrive via the Tor, then the best way to do it is by using your own two feet, following your own personal pilgrimage from Wells Cathedral to the holy ruins of Glastonbury Abbey.
