Visit Glastonbury
Just a few minutes from Old Oaks, Glastonbury is one of Somerset’s most fascinating places to visit — full of history, myth, independent shops, colourful cafés, spiritual sites and spectacular views.
Best known around the world for its famous music festival, Glastonbury has so much more to offer than muddy fields and headline acts. The town itself has a wonderfully bohemian feel, with quirky shops, characterful pubs, independent places to eat, a weekly Tuesday market and a lively mix of music, art and creative events throughout the year.
Old Oaks is perfectly placed for exploring it all. We’re just a 5 minute drive from Glastonbury town centre, and Glastonbury Tor is even closer — its base is around ¾ mile from the park.
