If the forecast is looking grim, why not spend the day at Rural Life Museum? You'll be fascinated by just how many interesting facts you can learn about the past here.

Rural Life Museum is a worthwhile place to begin exploring Glastonbury. This collection of historical artifacts is recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Set aside time for other attractions like Wells Cathedral, Glastonbury Abbey, and Wookey Hole Caves to make the most of what's on offer in the area.
