WITCHES, WIZARDS and WEIRDNESS in the UK's Strangest Town..! I was SHOCKED.

Welcome to Glastonbury, known for being host to the largest music festival in the world and by far the strangest place in the UK... known as a Hippy Heaven, where Witches, Wizards and Hippies are a common sight! A mystical place where alternative lifestyles and pagan spiritualism is normal. A real life Harry Potter movie. A centre for all things alternative lifestyle and eccentric! I was shocked to see every shop was filled in this UK High Street, a rare sight on my travels of the UK. Glastonbury is a busy, bustling and vibrant British Town Centre, opposed to the abandoned high streets of Britain that we are all familiar with. Not all of the UK is Broken Britain. Thanks to @BackpackerBen for stopping by! Head over to his channel and check out his extreme travel content!

One national tabloid described this small British town as the "Weirdest Town in The UK"... I would say the "Strangest Place In The World". Never in my life have I been anywhere as weird and wonderful as Glastonbury or Avalon as it was once known. Hearing the stories of the locals in street interview form was eye opening.

Backpacker Ben looked at those springs like it was piss. Backpacking has changed a lot since I was a teenager. We would have been 'well' glad of a drink of good water when my mate and I went backpacking in 1990. We got of the Belfast to Liverpool boat with £12 between us and spent the next three months hitching through England. We very seldom went hungry or thirsty and we sipped at many service station taps, we would've filled our bellies and bottles at a spring like this. The English people were very good to us and many times we were fed, watered and offered a floor to bed down on. Great times and good people.

20 years ago while I was very very high I wild camped on the side of Glastonbury tor. I woke in the night in my tent to hear strange chanting outside. Some guy was chanting in the dark outside.... I heard him chant the name shiva and thought fair enough shiva isn't Satan so maybe he won't sacrifice me in the night.... In the morning I went outside and made breakfast and a big fattie. The guy was camping right outside my tent and hadn't seen my tent in the dark. He awoke and was a lil freaked out to see me.... Glastonbury! All normal there!

The red and white springs are kept clean and drinkable. It's spring water, just like the stuff you buy in bottles in the supermarket. The red spring water doesn't keep that well, so better drunk fresh. That was a pretty fair appraisal of our beautiful town, you'd fit in well, not so sure about your mate Ben 😃. Be aware that people come from far and wide to the variety of cosmic conferences held over the summer. Beneath all the cosmic nonsense is a community with a heart of gold.

All too commercial for me. I remember the town when the Pilton festival now known as Glastonbury festival took place. Interesting how the hippies became so wealthy due to the upper middle classes with no intelligence and endless money from mater & pater changed this once spiritual town. It is all about money now. Glad I left when I did.

I regularly visit. It’s a beautiful feeling just being there. People are so friendly. And they are welcoming of dogs. There’s a place not to far called Rockaway at Temple cloud I highly recommend you visit. It’s like a huge community of incredible people. That water is incredible. I used to collect and drink it regularly. It has no fluoride no oestrogen no cocaine which your vile tap water is full of

[@herrflick1244]

Went through there in the late 60s to go on the annual family holiday, not been since and still looks relatively the same.seems a friendly place, the land time forgot. These hippies are completely normal to what you saw in the 60s, then, long kaftan,bells around the neck,Indian sandals,cloth headbands and John lennon glasses and that was just the men and loads of afghan coats even in summer.My traditional boring dad nearly had a meltdown at the sight of them, calling them unemployable layabout students who would never get a job in the real world. Mum called them dirty lot. I bet they all ended up as architects and maths teachers😊

That's not weird it's... "normal for Glastonbury". 😉 The water at Chalice Well won't give you any problem at all. In fact, the thing to do is to bring a bottle and fill it half way from the white spring then full the rest up from the red spring which is just across the road!

But, there are some great cafes and restaurants there as well!

Proper job is about the most useful shop in central Glastonbury if you are still normal. Once upon a time there was also a good surplus shop at the top of the high street on the left, but it disappeared along with a few other good shops. We are overrun by charity shops and witch shops. Gigi's is good if you want normal food as well. None of these ever get a mention on these types of video, so in case you are visiting, that's the deal.

They do bottle and sell it. (maybe just the white spring) is also fed through a water tank and I believe some treatment is done to it.

Glastonbury is a place full of wizards and witches and healers selling magic merchadise. For some reason they don't accept magic beans as currency though, and they all love money.

[@JoefishJ]

Did they not accept your magic beans? 🫘 Haha brilliant comment thanks for watching and the comment

[@herculeholmes504]

@@JoefishJ Sadly not. TBH, being relatively local, I do go to Glastonbury once in a while if only to watch the tourists in Summer. "People watching" as Americans call it. A short one, but a really great video, thankyou Joe. 🙂

[@tomfitz-tm6tz]

All the alternative therapy types love money..!!!

This place is beautiful… I think I might have go to visit here asap

Stunning! Thanks for watching and the comment

as soon as i saw the title it could only be Glastonbury

[@JoefishJ]

Literally no where like it on earth, and i've been to some weird places!

Totnes gives it a run for it's money but it's not quite at the level of Glastonbury@@JoefishJ

Glastonbury is amazing. Can't wait to go back! 🔮

[@JoefishJ]

A very crazy place! Thanks for watching and the comment

[@marksadventures3889]

Like wow man! We have a similar experience not far away in West Yorkshire called Hebden Bridge - a Northern Hippie Haven. I keep up to date with things via Glastonbury Gabriel's channel. I've been a few times, last time was for the festival in the 80's. I stayed after to clear up, so much trash for so many hippies who "love the Earth" - I think they've missed something. Many left full camping set ups, not cheap either! I go by works not words. For your edification I think you'll find that latter Romans brought "Christianity" to the UK in the late 3rd and early 4th century AD. Later was St. Columba 521 to 597ad who was said to bring "Christianity" to Scotland in the 6th century.

The craziest!

I want to live there.

8:06 if they didn’t want you to drink it, there would be a sign telling you not to drink it.🙂

The best spring water! Thanks for watching

[@tongey1]

Nice video Joe! I have been to Glastonbury, and just thought it was a bit odd! Will have to revisit! Have you been to Shrewsbury? Also a thriving town, well worth checking out!

[@JoefishJ]

Awesome place do go and check it out! A really wacky day out. Thanks for watching and the comment

Thanks 🙏👍

Sis in Law and nephew visit regularly from Weymouth. Go to some spring/cave place. Naked bathers have been seen there which they ignore and depart swiftly lol.

[@JoefishJ]

Naked bathers!! Yes apparently that's popular there. Thanks for watching and the comment

I live in Glastonbury, and i have a video clip of a beautiful fairy that touched me on my back 🧚‍♂️❤️🙏🏼🤗

Backpacker Ben wouldn't risk a drink of fantastic spring water, what a deluded wimp!

I slept on the Tor a few nights when I went to a gathering there on the 8th August 1988;--- 8/8/88. On early mornings the Tor & the other nearby hill appear as isles sat in a sea of mist +cloud. The Isle of Avalon.

[@belindablunderbus1365]

less Harry Potter please, it's a bit patronising to pagans and witches

[@JoefishJ]

Harry Potter is main stream witch craft / paganism...

[@touriel8943]

The only place to rival Glastonbury for aggressive beggars is Delhi station. I gave a whole load of handspun clothes to a shop to sell and never got any money. I think youre being a little naive, but bless your innocence. Tyr the new traveller site on the brick yatd....

I know! But had enough of covering the negative needed a break for a week. Thanks for watching and the comment

I live in Weymouth, only 37 minutes from Glastonbury and I've somehow never been! Might take a drive up this weekend for a wonder about 😊

[@ringo4419]

Not buying that official story of Arthur's burial site!

[@JoefishJ]

Me neither to be honest

[@Victoria-kl7su]

A few places try to claim Arthur as theirs including Cornwall, Glastonbury and Wales

Very interesting, vlog mate. I been to Glastonbury backpacking during my college years 20years ago. Brings back good memories 😊. Thanks.

I think a weekend in Glastonbury (or maybe a few more days) may be on the cards!

[@JoefishJ]

A crazy and unique place for sure! Thanks for watching and the comment

[@legalalien59]

Really appreciate the positive vibe Joe. There are far too many people on YT these days who focus only on the worst parts of the UK. I know lots of places in the UK are experiencing bad times, but some YT entities try to give the impression that the whole country is in a state of decay. Content does not have to be negative.

[@JoefishJ]

Thanks for the kind words and support 🙏

I miss Glastonbury 😢 beautiful place, glad to see the high street hasn’t changed much

backpacker Ben is such a dry broither, I'm surprised how he has credit in the UK?..... he is only tough back in the UK. Where's Bald? High from Downunder
