Location

Glastonbury is an historic centre famous for its Tor, picturesque Abbey ruins and many legends. The town provides an eclectic mix of shops along with restaurants and pubs, mainstream supermarkets, health centres, modern library, primary schooling and St Dunstans secondary school. The neighbouring town of Street offers a further choice of shopping with Clarks Village, Strode Sixth Form College and Strode Theatre. Millfield Junior School is on the edge of Glastonbury at Edgarley and Chilkwell Street is equally convenient for Millfield Senior School in Street.

Directions

From the town centre, proceed up the High Street passing St John's Church on the left. At the top of the hill, turn right into Lambrook Street and continue to the mini-roundabout. Take the first exit signposted to Shepton Mallet, continuing along Chilkwell Street until you approach the Chalice Well on the left. A driveway can be found just before the row of red brick cottages, that extends around to rear of no.71.
