For AmericansGlastonbury is an innocent-looking village in the south of England, crammed to the rafters with loons and hippies. The Tor is an ancient, unexplained man-made hill at the edge of the village, with a tower at the top, as shown. (If you've heard of King Arthur, the legends are supposedly based here.) On ritual occasions (the equinoxes, the solistices and The Festival*, hordes of manky hippies gather at night at the tower, chanting and playing rhythms, and consuming large quantities of hallucinagenic drugs.)
Other than that, it's mostly surrounded by sheep.
* Glastonbury Festival - like Woodstock, except muddier. Oh, and it happens almost every year.
