hey guys this is the travel vlog today I'm in Somerset I'm in the town of
Glastonbury I'll be telling you later why Glastonbury is so famous but now I'm
on my way up to the top I'll see you soon
see you up there that's Glastonbury Tor in the distance there see you soon wish me
luck
so I'm halfway up now I think you can see before it's quite a steep climb but
so far so good so in the background here you can see the town of Glastonbury now
you might have heard of Glastonbury it's very famous for the festival and every year the
festival has a specific music festival very popular with music lovers and
hippies that has its roots in the 1960s so that's what Glastonbury is famous for but the
Tor which we're going up now, have you heard of King Arthur?
so it's famous because it is said to be the mythical home of King Arthur
which is said to be the ancient site of Avalon so we'll be seeing all that a bit later
So I've finally reached the top
So this is Glastonbury Tor. We'll be looking in a minute at the view around.
But today unfortunately it's a little bit misty hopefully you remember that from our
weather lesson. So it's not very clear and this is England and the sun isn't shining
So glastonbury Tor, now the history of this place is that it used to be a Church
And i said previously, if you've heard of king Arthur, this was said to be
Avalon, the sight of ancient Avalon, where King Arthur would have lived with Guinevere
Maybe you know this story, there was a very tragic love story between them
Guinevere went off with another man one of the knights Lancelot
Our history, in terms of English history Arthur is very important
And this is one of the sights of his ancient Kingdom
So shall we go and have a look at the view?
so I'm in a different part of Somerset now I'm in Taunton which is the capital
city of this county and I'm in an orchard as you can see lots of trees
here so an orchard is a place where we grow fruit trees now these fruit trees
are apple trees but they're not going to say apples they're going to be turned
into an alcoholic drink called cider very popular Somerset is famous for
cider I'm personally a fan of it so I'm looking forward to trying some of the
cider very soon so I'm finally having a pint of Somerset cider I feel it's a
quite well deserved after my long day and if you can see lovely view of
Somerset in the background here and we've even got a visitor enter for love English today!
So cider is made by crushing the apples and the juice is
then stored in oak barrels where it will ferment and eventually it will become
this delicious alcoholic drink I have to tell you guys that it is alcoholic and
it is quite strong so I think I'm just going to have one but you can either
have a still cider or a sparkling cider this one is a sparkling one so yes I'll
be enjoying this in a moment ok everybody well that's the end of this
