The obvious first question we need to ask concerns the real logistical problems of digging a tunnel over half a mile long, and then a vertical shaft through the centre of a limestone outcrop – for no discernable reason.

I do hope you enjoyed the walk with me today, wishing you many happy smiles.Is there a secret tunnel connecting Torre Abbey and the enigmatic St Michael’s Chapel on Chapel Hill? That’s the Torquay legend that has been around for decades and possibly centuries.

The views at the top are great, on a clear day i can see across the Bristol channel to Swansea in south Wales many miles away.Īs with all journeys they must come to an end, as in this case, when i descend. One final push to the summit and your greeted by the tower. Lots of people that visit like to leave ribbons on the branches of this beautiful hawthown tree as offerings and for prayers.

Legend has it that theirs a labyrinth of tunnels underneath the tor and behind the egg stone lays the entrance to this tunnel network. This spot is called the egg stone and you can clearly see why it has its name. One place i would like to show you is a secret spot not many people find, its tucked into the side of the hill away from the path and ones almost guaranteed to be there on your own in peace to meditate. Its a good walk to the top but theirs a few lovely places to stop on the way up.

Today the sun was shining and there was a freshness of energy in Glastonbury town with many tourists arriving to visit the Abbey, its grounds and the famous hill thats called the 'Tor'. You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold, that is how important you are
