Chalice Well

About

Chalice Well is a timeless pilgrimage site nestled in the valley between Glastonbury Tor and Chalice Hill, renowned for its ancient red spring and serene gardens. Visitors wander the beautifully landscaped grounds, experience the quietude of the Well’s flowing waters, and often pause at the historic Vesica Piscis symbol carved into the well lid. The site welcomes people of all spiritual paths, offering a sanctuary for contemplation, healing, and community gatherings throughout the year. Beyond the well itself, the Trust hosts the Little St. Michael’s Retreat House and a spacious Meeting Room for workshops and retreats, both accessible to visitors in advance via dedicated booking pages. The Gardens host seasonal events such as solstice celebrations, silent minutes, and walking tours that deepen the visitor experience. With free entry to the gardens and the Well, Chalice Well invites families, pilgrims, nature lovers, and spiritual seekers alike to discover a place of peace and reflection in the heart of Somerset.
