Glastonbury Tribunal is a fine late 15th-century stone town house with an early Tudor façade and panelled interiors, once thought to have been the courtroom of Glastonbury Abbey. Inside, you'll find the Glastonbury Lake Village Museum, displaying dramatic finds from one of Europe's most famous archaeological sites, plus intricate stone and wood carvings and an Elizabethan-era rear kitchen. It suits history lovers and those curious about local archaeology, with a visit easily fitting into a couple of hours. The site is open Thursday to Monday and Tuesday afternoons, with paid parking in the town centre. If you're staying nearby, there are 54 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, and Castle Cary station, 9.1 miles away, offers a rail link for visitors arriving by train.
