More about this scene
Taken from a position further back than 80576 (note the arches probably added in the 19th century that have since been removed). The site is greatly improved, with a gravel surface and better props around the altar site. Today an actual altar is set here, surrounded by benches.

We moved to Glastonbury in 1994 and left in 2000.

We were able to sit up in bed with a cup of tea in the morning and look at the sunrise over Glastonbury Tor. A very special place that we go back and visit often.
