The Glastonbury Mural Trail

Walking around Glastonbury, you'll stumble across murals splashed across walls, alleyways, and the sides of ordinary buildings - a proper street art trail that's grown organically over the years rather than feeling like some corporate venture. The mural trail maps out the best ones across town, from larger-than-life character studies to abstract swirls of colour that transform drab corners into something worth photographing.

It's free to explore and takes as long as you fancy - you could sprint round the highlights in 45 minutes or spend a couple of hours hunting down every piece if you're really into it. The murals are genuinely varied, created by different artists with different styles, so there's actual visual interest rather than repetitive branding. Street, just down the road, is where you'll find most of the accommodation if you're basing yourself here.

This works well for art enthusiasts and photographers, less so for very young kids who might lose patience between finds. The walk itself is manageable and mostly flat, threading through the town centre on regular pavements. Summer's the obvious choice for wandering around with a camera, though the murals look striking in winter light too.

It pairs nicely with a wider Somerset break - you've got Bobsfield Campsite and Old Oaks Touring both within striking distance if you're camping, or the glamping options at Tall Trees and Apple Tree if you want something more comfortable. Combine it with exploring Glastonbury's other attractions and you've got a decent afternoon sorted.
