Connect Glastonbury with Slow Ways

panifex pledged to walk Glashe one

Glastonbury—Wells

An option for leaving Glastonbury is just to follow the Wells Road - the marked Slow Way takes you up a steep hill and straight back down the other side on a (minor) road which has no pavement for part of it....

Street—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!)...

Street—Glastonbury

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....

Mockymock added Wedgla two, a new walk from Wedmore to Glastonbury

Then, after the first farm beyond the village of Mere, the route follows a path alongside a main drainage ditch for several miles with a B-road on the far side if it. The remainder of the route into town follows a cycle path with a safe crossing over the busy A39....

Street—Glastonbury

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....

Nice route overall but the plot is rough and innacurate and the footpath access between Westhay Moor and Meare is not now as indicated on the OS map anyway. I will share another version...

Mockymock

Walk this route

Glastonbury—Wells

It's not a walking route but follows the main road (A39) between Wells and Glastonbury. There is no pavement or footway on much of it and I would say it is dangerous to walk in those places, especially where traffic is fast....

Walk this route

Glastonbury—Wells

It's mostly along quiet paths and roads, with lovely scenery, including the iconic Glastonbury Tor. I found the route easy to follow. The only bit of minor confusion for me was when a footpath crossed a wheat field and I initially had trouble seeing where I should wade through the well established grain!...

Walk this route

Glastonbury—Wells

Not quite five stars from me because most of it is on road and about half a mile of it is on a cycle path by a main road, but the roads are very quiet and it is a good route I'd definitely use again. Fuller review to come.......

Whichever way you walk it, and you should, as you close in you get one of two great iconic English views....

Mary Oz added Glawel two, a new walk from Glastonbury to Wells

It was a nice route out the town, then we hit the mud for mile 2 and 3 until we got to the road that took us into North Wootten (we actually avoided some of the route to stay on tarmac). The second half was interesting and scenic, across fields, following a track that was part stream, and then into Shepton Mallett....

Walk this route

A good route but best to avoid in the winter because of a very muddy section after Glastonbury across fields with cattle. Some lovely views at the beginning from Bove Town & then at the end before dropping down into Shepton. There was a nice section through fields & a valley after N Wootton....

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....

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....
