Insider tips
- ★Arrive early in Glastonbury to beat crowds at the Abbey; the town's High Street shops and cafés fill quickly in peak season.
- ★Wear comfortable walking shoes—Cheddar Gorge has uneven paths and steep sections; the easier lower route is equally scenic.
- ★Bring layers; the Mendip Hills expose you to wind and sudden weather changes even on sunny days.
- ★Pack a picnic or budget for pub lunches; dining options are available but limited during midday rush.
