Pathway progress update - we’re celebrating the Town Deal projects improving access across the town and its beautiful surrounding landscape 🚴🚶🧑‍🦼

🌳 Tor Leisure now features all-weather, multi-user paths thanks to the Robert Richards Initiative - a tribute to the first Chair of the Town Deal Board. These paths are already popular with walkers, wheelchair users, and cyclists, offering a safer, scenic alternative to the A361 and A39.

💚 St Brigid’s Chapel and Field is becoming more accessible than ever. New paths now wind through the orchard and sacred landscape of Bride’s Mound, supporting inclusive access while preserving its natural beauty. The interpretation board at the top of the path will be re-sited as part of the wider interpretation strategy for the Scheduled Monument. Following feedback on the path surface, all parties are working together to remove the path on the top of mound and restore a more sympathetic surface, one that is in greater harmony with the landscape. A new eco-built roundhouse is also underway - a positive change from its former industrial designation.

🌿 Willow Walk is being resurfaced, including the bridge over the River Brue, enhancing one of the most picturesque parts of The Glastonbury Way.

🗺️ And speaking of which - The Glastonbury Way, a 7.5-mile route funded by the Town Deal Accelerator Fund, is set for further improvements to make it even more accessible for all.

Huge thanks to everyone involved - from local residents to partner organisations - for helping shape a more inclusive and connected Glastonbury. 👏

Fantastic to see this project coming together 💚👇

Members of the Glastonbury Town Deal Board were thrilled to attend the official opening of the revitalised Glastonbury Abbey Yard yesterday! 🤩

What a fantastic success for Glastonbury Abbey. This is the second Town Deal project to complete on time, and we couldn't be more excited to see this beautiful new space shared with you all.

Visitors can now step through the original entrance gates and experience the brand new Glastonbury Abbey Yard, including the Yard Café, Gift Shop, and Admissions, all centred around a beautifully finished open-air meeting space. Plus, don't miss the chance to visit the 16th-century St. Patrick’s Chapel, now free to access for everyone to enjoy. 🙏

We hope you come and experience the Glastonbury Abbey Yard for yourself. It's a wonderful addition to our town. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making this vision a reality.

Come and explore the history, culture, and community spirit that Glastonbury Abbey Yard has to offer. We look forward to seeing you there!
