This service is provided by MCT Trading with the mini bus being provided by Mendip Community Transport.
The Tor bus takes you quickly and easily up to Glastonbury Tor (where parking is not available). From St. Dunstans Car Park by the Town Hall the service operates along Magdalene Street, Bere Lane, Chilkwell Street, Coursing Batch, Ashwell Lane and Basketfield Lane to the Tor.
Your ticket entitles you to travel as many times as you like on the day of purchase and you can use the service to visit both the Somerset Rural Life Museum or The Chalice Well, both of which are situated along the route.
Why not take the bus to the Tor and walk down to the town centre on foot? This is a very pleasant descending walk via Bushy Combe and Dod Lane as shown on the map.
The magnificent 14th century Abbey Barn is the centrepiece of the Somerset Rural Life Museum. As well as a wealth of displays there are a number of exhibitions during the year featuring different aspects of rural life in Somerset. In addition to this there are special events, demonstrations and children's activities.
Admission is Free
The Holy Grail is buried near The Chalice Well, so legend tells. Believed to have been constructed in the 13th Century the waters of the well are claimed to have curative powers. There are many special events held in the gardens during the year. The gardens are open every day of the year.
The Tor is a landmark for many miles around. After your short journey by bus you will be rewarded by magnificent views over the Somerset Levels and Moors. The Tor is owned and cared for by the National Trust and there is free access to the public at all times. (Please note there are no public conveniences at the Tor.)
