Glastonbury
A town in the Mendip region of the northeastern Somerset County in southwest England, England. It is located about 35 km south-southwest of Bristol, on the slope of a hill overlooking the valley of the River Blue. It is a small town engaged in dairy farming, sheepskin processing, and sheepskin product manufacturing. The remains of a late Iron Age lakeside settlement have been excavated from the remains of an old peat bog nearby, along with various artefacts, and the ruins of St Mary's Abbey, the oldest Benedictine abbey in England, are also nearby, making it a bustling tourist centre. At nearby Worthy Farm, the Glastonbury Festival, an outdoor music festival, is held every summer. Population: 8,784 (2001).
