An active well for over 2000 years, Chalice Well embodies the peace and solace of its unique location in the Vale of Avalon. The well and its surrounding meditation garden offer visitors a chance to reflect and drink in (literally) the area's fabled history. The well cover, designed by church architect and archaeologist Frederick Bligh Bond, represents the overlap between inner and outer worlds and symbolizes the atmosphere here. Quiet your thoughts in one of the sitting areas or take a relaxed stroll through the grounds. Don't forget to bring a bottle so you can sample the waters from this famous source. On summer evenings, enjoy poetry, music, and other performances in the candlelit gardens. If you're interested in delving further, look at the schedule of workshops and retreats. It couldn't be easier to arrange your visit to Chalice Well and many more Glastonbury attractions: make an itinerary online using Inspirock's Glastonbury vacation tool.

What a deeply spiritual and moving experience we had at the Chalice Well. We drank of the red spring before climbing the Tor.

Absolutely beautiful. Words can not express the beautiful gardens and the spiritual feeling that comes from being here. From goosebumps on top of goosebumps, chills to warmth running through your body. The gardens are extremely well kept and everywhere is so clean and tidy. If you are in Glastonbury, do not hesitate to visit here. It's only a little walk outside of the town and one that is certainly worth it. Maybe a visit before or after the walk to the Tor. Also a great little shop as you are leaving which is also worth a stop to have a look around and buy gifts.

A beautiful, spiritual place steeped in history. The gardens themselves are a haven of tranquility. We visited three times during our short stay. Lovely gift shop with a variety of items to indulge the senses.
