Take a tour into history and mystery by visiting the Glastonbury Chalice Well. Visited by many seeking the healing properties of the same water that healed King Arthur. Located at the bottom of the Glastonbury Tor, the Chalice Well is a natural spring used for nearly 2000 years.

In addition to being associated with the Legend of Arthur, the Chalice Well is also the hypothesized location in which Joseph of Arimathea filled the Chalice with the blood of Christ during crucifixion, linking it to the Holy Grail.

The Chalice Well is surrounded by a beautiful garden filled with yews and Glastonbury Holy Thorn Trees. There are is also a healing pool in which you can wade in and plenty of opportunities to just sit and meditate or enjoy the scenery.

The cost of the Chalice Well is 3 pounds, which is a donation to the preservation of the Well. You can also take free samples of Chalice water so remember to bring a water bottle. If you forget your water bottle, you can purchase bottles from the gift shop for 1 pound. There is also a bookshop on location that carries numerous books about the Arthur Legend, natural healing, and remedies. Only available at the bookshop are the holy thorn and holy bud essence that are good for healing.

The Chalice Well can be visited in an hour. You can easily make it part of a day visit to Glastonbury.

Located at the foot of the Glastonbury Tor, the Chalice Well is one of the oldest continuously used holy wells in Britain. Archaeology has shown that the spring was used by prehistoric tribes who inhabited western England. Open year-round, for about US$5, visitors can view the ancient well water and for less than US$1, you can purchase a vial to take a sample home with you.

Located in a serene and well-manicured garden, the grounds are as beautiful and peaceful as the well itself. Although a bit kitschy and commodified, the fairly inexpensive cost makes the experience worthwhile.
