Launceston (spelt the same way as our Launceston but pronounced Lawn - s - ton) to Glastonbury. We accidentally discovered that they where were just starting this year's festival. The farmer whose land the event is on has now quit farming and spends the year organising the festival and is doing extremely well out of it!
Saw Glastonbury Tor topped by St Michael's Tower 15th Century. The tor is mentioned in Celtic mythology and somehow related to King Arthur. Not one is quite sure how but they are sure it is true.
Glastonbury Abbey.
Then through Midsomer Norton - nothing like the idyllic town shown in the television show. No wonder they have to go as far as oxford to shoot it.
At Wells one of the women who look after St Cuthbert's church invited us in to view the 16th century ceiling.

We got lost in Wells when the GPS insisted we go the wrong way down one way roads. We gave up on finding it while reprogramming the GPS we found it! We couldn't park so just stopped the car in the middle of the road and I dashed out for a few photos. The Wells Cathedral (no spires!)
On to bath to our exceptionally lovely Ayrlington B & B for my birthday celebrations.
