| I thought I would share some pictures of the Chalice Well Gardens at Glastonbury for those who have not been there, this magical place will remain in my memory forever, it was a tranquil, yet vibrant place, so peaceful with people sitting in various places meditating, there are many little hidden places to sit and look down on the gardens, or just sit amongst the most magical trees and absorb their energy, the yew trees are huge with many fairy holes in them.  This is the Lion Head Fountain where you can fill up your bottles of water or just have a drink, the taste is full of minerals and has an iron taste too  The well head at Chalice Well. Some believe that the line down the middle represents "Excalibur" King Arthur's famous sword  One of the many seats in the gardens, the gardens are cared for by volunteers, Chalice Well is where it is believed that Joseph of Arimathea brought the chalice that caught the blood of Christ and buried at the bottom of the Tor. Meaning that Glastonbury is home to the Holy Grail. It is believed that where the chalice was buried a well sprang forth.  Lovely view of the garden, there is a wee channel of water that leaves the well here and trickles through the garden to a submerging pool where you can actually stand in the healing waters, i think you can just see it at the front of the pool  Glastonbury Abbey is where King Arthur and Queen Guinevere are buried.
