‘The edge of Glastonbury Abbey grounds is occupied by the charming Somerset Rural Life Museum where you can watch and occasionally take part in traditional rural crafts such as cheese making, cider pressing and roof thatching. Also, be sure to note the old-fashioned 3-seat toilet – so well-bonded families could relieve themselves together.’
