Avalon Marshes
At the heart of Somerset lies a beautiful area called the Avalon Marshes, a vibrant, working landscape, celebrated for its rich wildlife, heritage and culture. Rich meadows, small woods, reed-beds, lakes, pools and scattered villages all contribute to its evocative character. The mystical Isle of Avalon, with Glastonbury Tor standing sentinel, looks out over the surrounding moors, which are criss-crossed by a myriad of ditches, rhynes and waterways, dug to re-claim the land through the ages.
