Glastonbury Abbey, the final resting place for Camelot's King Arthur & Queen Guinevere

Glastonbury has more more to offer than play host to an annual music festival; its also home to the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey. Reputed to be the final resting place for the 'fictitious' Camelot's King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, this ruined abbey was firmly placed on my to do list down in Somerset.

Shaftesbury Village, Dorset's 'little Italy' hill top crown jewel

Shaftebury Village is picture perfect and sits proudly on a 700 ft hill top overlooking Dorset's Blackmoor vale. To many it is the typical english village, but to me it is reminiscent of an Italian Hill top town. Its very much like Sienna in Italy were I spent many a student days wandering up the narrow steep back streets flagged by terraced houses. I think I will always remember shaftebury as my 'little Italy' and look forward to every visit.
