This episode – the last in the Bath series – takes you on a day out to Glastonbury, home of the abbey ruins, the Tor, the King Arthur legends and one of the country’s most unusual high streets. Find out what happened to destroy the abbey, why a tree from Glastonbury was on Britain’s Christmas stamps in 1986 and what starring role the town played in the opening ceremony for the 2012 London Olympics.
