Glastonbury Backpackers is situated in the historic Crown Hotel, a 16th-century coaching inn set in the heart of Glastonbury, Somerset. It's a unique, vibrant and colourful place to stay whether for one night or longer. With easy access to all the local attractions and the surrounding countryside

The ancient town of Glastonbury is shrouded in legend and myth. It reputedly hosts the first Christian Church, founded by Joseph of Arimathea, who is said to have buried the Holy Grail at the foot of Glastonbury Tor (a 526ft-high hill which still dominates the landscape today). According to Arthurian legend, Glastonbury, or the Isle of Avalon as it was formerly known, is the burial place of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere.

More recently, the town has become famous for its religious and cultural festivals and music events, most notably at Glastonbury Abbey and, of course, the famous Glastonbury Music Festival held every year, except this year, just outside the town.

The town centre itself boasts many shops and restaurants, all with the unique style and atmosphere that is Glastonbury.
