A pleasant short walk to Glastonbury. The main road is not very pleasant, but the pavement path is easy and safe. Once over the river the post-festival vibe was clear with people in tents and sleeping in campervans. Definitely go on to climb the Tor, the view is truly splendid - and enables you to enjoy artistic new age decorations in unexpected places (such as on barbed wire fences proclaiming LOVE and JOY!).

I walked from Street to Glastonbury and enjoyed this route, although the walk next to the A39 is a bit dull and noisy, but safe, and can't be avoided. After that the route goes up to Wearyall Hill where there are fantastic views and plenty of information boards to tell you what you are looking at and some of the local myths and legends. After descending there is a short walk along side roads to the town centre.
To get back, I walked StrGla2 and have to say I enjoyed this route far more.

I really like this short route. It's mostly urban and part of it is along the path by the busy main road but it pops delightfully over the hill on the way, with big views all around. And being close to Glastonbury you might come across folk doing some yoga, and usually there is decorated vegetation. Today it was ribbons tied around the thistles.

Report

A good route connecting Street & Glastonbury, 1/3 of which is along the busy A39. The middle section up Wearyall Hill is very pleasant with good views of the tor and surrounding levels. Probably only suitable on foot because of 2 kissing gates & a flight of steps.

Report

A relatively easy and short route with lovely views from the top of Wearyall Hill. A couple of slopes (1 in 6) and some narrow footpaths and uneven terrain.
