“This new layout simply prevents unauthorised parking and an unsustainable build-up of traffic on Stonedown Lane. We know this is a very important place for residents and visitors alike and we really want everyone to have a great Summer Solstice.
Somerset County Council’s Lead Executive Member for Transport and Digital, Cllr Mike Rigby, said: “We don’t want to restrict anybody’s access to the Tor at the north entrance. Penalty notices will be issued to those parked illegally and, where necessary, vehicles will be towed away.
Police and parking enforcement will be patrolling too during the run-up to the Solstice on Tuesday 21 st June. National Trust Wardens, who look after the Tor, will be patrolling. You can view and download full details on the Tor bus by visiting here – services run every 30 mins from the town centre.Ĭamping and fires are also prohibited on Glastonbury Tor and the surrounding area. There’s a new bus stop, plus disabled bays for blue badge holders. Glastonbury Multi Agency Group (MAG), which represents the County, District and Town Councils, and Avon and Somerset Police, have been working with the National Trust, and consulting with residents, to find solutions.Ī new road layout was introduced in March at the Tor’s north entrance, and a grassy bund and boulders have helped reinforce a clearway along Stonedown Lane.

People planning to celebrate the Summer Solstice at Glastonbury Tor are being encouraged to play their part in ensuring there’s minimal disruption and damage to the ancient site. Let’s have a great Summer Solstice at Glastonbury Tor by respecting the special site, and each other
