King Arthur's Trail
King Arthur’s Trail is a journey through the wonderfully rural landscape of Somerset, a region shaped by the myths and legends of King Arthur and his knights. From the ancient abbey and tor at Glastonbury to the mysterious Somerset Levels – a land of mystery and vintage cyder!
Steeped in history and a legendary mystique, this trail has a little of everything from beautiful villages to Iron Age hill forts, big views and tales of the knights of old, maybe even Arthur himself.
