Bove Town Bittern (Mural Trail)

Bove Town's mural trail is a proper surprise tucked away near Glastonbury - you won't find queues or admission fees, just a quietly evolving collection of street art spread across a small village. The murals are genuinely good: local artists and visiting painters have transformed ordinary walls into something worth stopping for, ranging from bold abstract work to detailed figurative pieces that actually say something rather than just filling space.

It's the kind of thing you stumble upon while wandering between Glastonbury's tourist hotspots, though it rewards a dedicated hour or so if you're keen on street art. There's no formal trail map that I could find, but locals are friendly and the village is compact enough that you'll spot the main works just by walking around. The best time is overcast - harsh sun bleaches the detail - and honestly, go early on a weekday if you can. Weekends bring a bit more foot traffic.

For families with kids old enough to appreciate art beyond the obvious, it's genuinely engaging without being preachy. Anyone staying at Old Oaks Touring or Bobsfield Campsite - both a mile or so away - can knock this out as an easy morning walk before heading to Glastonbury proper. It's free, there's no pressure, and sometimes that's exactly what makes a spot memorable. Not a destination in itself, but absolutely worth the detour if you're in the area.
