Glastonbury abbey gardens with Chalice Hill beyond
The parkland within Glastonbury Abbey precinct is planted with many different species of tree, and there is a map with key to identify all the trees here on a wall near the Abbey museum building. From this viewpoint on the ruins next to the Abbots Kitchen, St Michael's tower on the top of Glastonbury Tor appears to rest on top of Chalice Hill. There has been some (unfounded) speculation that the original church (the "vestusta ecclesia") was sited on this spot to satisfy some line-of-sight from the summit of the Tor across the summit of Chalice Hill.
