Glastonbury Tor, town, ancient trees, Gog & Magog and more! Walk around Glastonbury with us

[@michelegrady1142]

Loved the Angel on the children’s pew! It reminds me of the kneeling one in my Italian manger. 😊

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

We loved that too Michele 😎🐼🙂🐼

Hi to the best history teachers in the world. Thanks again dear friends ... your video's are inspiring many thanks from Robin and Terri....

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Hi both, and thanks for your very encouraging comment. It's wonderful to be able to share the stories with you and knowing you're there with us inspires us to keep going, especially when we were climbing the Tor! 😱😂 Thanks again. 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@KentishMudlarks]

Hi Phil and Caroline, fantastic adventure and it’s giving us the urge to travel the 154 miles from here on Romney Marsh and have a look around Glastonbury ourselves. Such a fantastic view from the Tor overlooking the Somerset levels and north and north west to Wales. Thanks for sharing Best wishes Mark and Julie ⭐️😊👍

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Hi both, we're so glad you enjoyed the video, and are inspired to take the 154 mile trip. We're sure you'll love it there 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@velialombardi2164]

Hello Johnsons. Your latest videos are beautiful, informative and full of historical content. I do, however, miss your mudlarking and shed crafting. Will you be doing that again? Love from the USA. 4:15PM

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

So glad you've enjoyed the latest videos, and we appreciate that a lot of our viewers miss the mudlarking content... But while we never say never, the mudlarking has had to stop and there are no plans to do any more, with the possible of exceptions when we visit mudlarking friends like Tom. And even then, due to health concerns we won't be venturing far off the beaten track as we've done in the past. So, the plan is to travel as much as we can and share the scenery & sights with everyone and of course, a bit of the history. Thanks foe watching 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@katemillard3688]

Hi both X loved tonight's video... beautiful views and lovely history X thank you...Oliver particularly loved the little mouse 🐁😅❤

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

That's great Kate, tell Oliver we loved the little mouse too. 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@mterrylane819]

So many things come to mind while watching this video, great tour of the church amazing stained glass windows wonderful scenery, grand walk to the top, would have made me dizzy looking down had I been there, never knew the monument had a name in all my years thank you !

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

We're so glad you enjoyed so much of this trip, and it's great that there was something new in there for you too. Thanks for the encouraging comment. 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@peggyreid6836]

Hello Caroline and Phil. So happy you invited me to share your adventure. Greetings from the U.S.A.

[@sarahstrong7174]

In ancient times Gog & Magog were giants that were said to live in the hills in Devon, near Totnes if I remember right.

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

It seems Gog & Magog have turned up in a lot of legends and localities since they were first mentioned in the Bible, Sarah. And as well as Giants of Welsh Mythology and the hills of Devon they are big in London too! 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Our pleasure Peggy, we're so happy you could join us 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@susancousins8766]

Hello Phil and Caroline this was the first time of hearing about St. Michaels tower. That was more than we could ask for the two of you hiking up the mountain. Although, a beautiful view the walk was exhausting from my perspective. I hope Caroline is ok after all of that. You both have such wonderful intentions and I don’t want to see anything happening to either one of you. This was a magnificent tour around Glastonbury very beautiful town, church inside and out. You both did a fantastic service to tour us and show such detail of everything. I hope you have a wonderful week to rest⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

It was an exhausting climb Susan, but we paced ourselves and had a good rest before making our way down. Fortunately we were staying in a campsite very nearby, so we were able to walk through the lanes to our caravan and take it easy for a day or two after making the film. And we filmed the Climb of The Tor and the Tour of The Town over 2 days, not to over do it. But then with Caroline's clever editing it all becomes one trip. Thanks for your concern and your kind and encouraging comment. 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@johnparr5879]

I enjoyed the focus on the wonderful Glastonbury....... buildings and architecture........ Such ancient history..... Held within such fine structures *

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Thanks John... So glad you enjoyed the trip to Glastonbury 🤠😎🐼

[@christhompson4270]

Awesomeness, beautiful church, tor and stunning views what is more could you ask for. Take care and thank you very much for sharing 👍🙏❤️😍

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

That's great to hear Chris... You take care too and thanks for watching 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@missmerrily4830]

I was so excited to see that you were in Glastonbury as I'm due to make a visit there myself in a month or two. I'm even more excited now! Thank you both so much for your detailed tour as now I have so many more things to look out for. I'm not sure I'm still capable of getting up to the Tor so I was glad for your showing us the views. Thanks both of you, you did us all proud with your great information. I'm really fired up to go and see it all!

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

The Tor is a bit of a climb, but there are so many wonderful things to see in the town, including the Abbey, which we didn't visit on this trip. Hope you have a wonderful time and please feel free to share pics from your trip, either on the FB Group or by email. ([e-mail]) we'd love to see them. 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@rosiamorrison6531]

Wow ! this was a great adventure, Loved the Church and this was Beauty at it's best . The magnificent views and History are just amazing. I see Manky really enjoyed it too . Just Wow , thanks for sharing with us today .💚💙💜👋💥💫

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Wow, what a comment! Thank you so much Rosia, we're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed this trip so much. And you're right ⭐🐼⭐ so did Manky 😄😂

[@jeannienash5249]

💖Luv ya bunches, Christine and Phil 💖

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Thanks Jeannie 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@sandramarieroberts1172]

I was sorry to hear that Gog was dead. I visited them in 2005. I got stung by nettles. The British lady with me knew which plant to rub on to lessen the sting. Walking up the Tor from the back is much easier than the steep front path. I’ve done both. It is a stunning, albeit windy, view up there. It seems like yesterday, but I guess it’s been 20 years now.

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

So glad the video brought back memories of your trip Sandra, but sorry to be the bearers of sad news about Gog. Thanks for watching 🤠🐼😎

[@Patricknab]

Gog and magog in my opinion, there alive in quran, says Zhou alqaernain built dam between us and them. Do u think this dam in Britain??? Or in north Europe but the question does 2 giants were they come from

[@elizabethrobison-berlie9736]

Lovely scenery. What a hike on the Tor to St Michaels tower! I would have had to rest several times on my way up. Thank you for showing us, and providing history of, this wonderful area.

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

The scenery was stunning Elizabeth, and you're not on your own, as we had to stop a couple of times on the way up the Tor 😄😂 Thanks for watching 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@59tante]

Props to both of you for climbing to the top. Well done

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

It was a struggle, but worth it when we got to the top! 👀 What a view! 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@terrig2298]

Really enjoyed your tour. The church is beautiful, the lectern is awesome! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. I know Manky had a great time. 💜

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

So glad you enjoyed this tour Terri, and it sounds like you were as impressed with the church as we were. And as you say, "Manky had a great time" ⭐🐼⭐

Thank you Andrea 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@cathy-wv1hg]

Walking up the hill to the Tor is like walking with the Spirits of Old.. Joseph of Arimathea, young Jesus and more ...❤

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Definitely Cathy, it was exhausting but also truly inspiring! 😎🐼🙂🐼

[@sarahstrong7174]

I think you should come & make a video at Dartington Hall & gardens. I think you would love it & if you came during the Summer School of Music there would be music going on around the hall.

[@cdmikie]

Such a beautiful church except for the modern seating, too bad they couldn't find something that fits in better.

[@LetsgowithTheJohnsons]

Yes the chairs did stand out a bit, but they explained that the decision to replace the pews meant they can open the space up and create a more accessible space for people to use. So, I suppose it was a bit of a compromise, between the historical & the practical. 😎🐼🙂🐼
