More Arthurian in Glastonbury.
The Holy Grail!
Legend has it that Joseph of Arimathea — the man who took Christ's body and placed it into the tomb following the Crucifixion — came to Britain, and specifically to the Isle of Avalon, back then an island surrounded by rivers and marsh. He brought two cups that contained drops of Christ’s blood and the chalice used by Him at the Last Supper. The chalice, or Holy Grail, disappeared, and the search for it became a prime object of the Arthurian knights (Arthur is supposed to have been buried at Glastonbury).
If you believe the Glastonbury version.
The Chalice was buried and a spring sprung forth from the buried chalice.

The Chalice Well at Glastonbury capitalises on this legend.

Without a doubt.
The site has a spiritual feel to it. And we absolutely enjoyed our time visiting this garden.
