Glastonbury Abbey

Founded in the 8th century, it was the richest monastery in England at the time of Domesday in 1086.

The 14th-century octagonal Abbot's Kitchen, with four large fireplaces, is among the best preserved medieval kitchens in Europe.

Monks reported finding the tomb of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere here in 1191, a claim historians generally see as a fundraising stunt after the fire of 1184.
