Shownotes Transcript

When it comes to hills and mountains in the British Isles, perhaps one hill feels more mystical than many others...and that's Glastonbury Tor. Standing some 158 m high, it's said to be a fairy hill, one of those curiously hollow hills in which fairies made them home.

Not just any fairies lived inside Glastonbury Tor - Gwyn ap Nudd, lord of the Otherworld, was believed to live inside it.

But what other legends might we discover about the Tor?

Let's find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
