Glastonbury: Travel, Accommodation and Parking

Glastonbury is conveniently close to the M5 and also A303 and so driving is easy.

If you wish to come by Train Castle Cary has a direct link with London Paddington which takes approx. 1.45 min, however the buses from Castle Cary to Glastonbury are not regular and so a taxi ride of approx. 25min is required.

Alternative to this is to get a train to Bristol Temple Meads, which has good links from not only London but also the rest of the country. When you arrive at Bristol Temple Meads you can get on to the bus link easily and the 376 which brings you right into the town.

If you are attending an event at the GABLES, 83 The Roman way. please see map below as there are a number of locations that you can park free and are only a very short walk from the centre.
