According to the weather forecast, I was supposed to be walking in the rain this morning but no, it was dry! Belinda accompanied me to the village of Pilton, famous for being the home of the Glastonbury Festival. We walked through the village and onto footpaths that took us to Worthy Farm and the site of the festival, which is having a rest this year...
There are remnants of the festival all over the site, including the skeleton of the Pyramid Stage, a tree top platform and willow snake - see above. The fungi pictured above, are made of wood and are very realistic except they are at least three feet high!
There are some interesting buildings and lovely houses in Pilton. The village has certainly benefitted from hosting the Glasonbury Festival. We parked in the carpark of the Village Hall and Working Men's Club, (see middle left pic), and walked past the Parish Church (above right), which have received funds. Money from the festival also, together with English Heritage, paid for the restoration of the fantastic 14th Century Tithe Barn, which is used for all sorts of events -see top photograph. There is a lot to explore in Pilton, so we vowed to go back later in the year...
