The Hill of St. Michael





                               The 145-meter high hill near Glastonbury has

                                   always been covered in mysteries. At the very


                                   top  of  the  hill  there  is  a  single  tower  that

                                   survived after the earthquake in 1274, and at


                                   its foot is a sacred well with water that does

                                   not  dry  out  even  in  a  severe  drought.  The


                                   monks of the Glastonbury Abbey claimed that

                                   King  Arthur's  ashes  rest  here,  the  pagans


                                   said  that  the  hill  and  the  tower  represent  a

                                   transition to the other world, and some even


                                   believed that the Holy Grail was hidden there.
