Whilst not as dramatic in shape or height as the nearby Glastonbury Tor, Wearyall Hill holds an important role in the mystical/religious history of Glastonbury. For this reason, it is often the starting place of many organised tours of the area.
The prime interest Wearyall Hill holds for present day visitors in the siting of a Glastonbury Holy Thorn near its summit. Although not the original thorn tree, which was believed to have been planted by Joseph of Arimathea, it is a direct descendant, having been grown from a cutting of th famous original.
The Glastonbury Thorn, Wearyall Hill
The hill is a popular haunt for local dog walkers and is also used for grazing sheep.
Fine views over the whole of Glastonbury can be seen from the summit of the hill.
