Myth and Legend: The Best Supernatural Landmarks of England

Glastonbury Tor
One of the most significant locations in Arthurian legend is Avalon, the mythical island where King Arthur was taken following his final battle. Many people believe that since he was taken to Avalon, he never really died, but will eventually return when Britons need him most.
Since the 12th century, many people have associated Glastonbury Tor with the mythical Avalon, pointing to the location and the multitude of tools and artifacts found during excavation, which suggests that it was occupied before recorded history. If you visit the area on a foggy day, you’ll be able to see the ruin of St. Michael’s Church look as if it’s rising from a sea of mist.
