Dear Maryrrf,

I know there's a Youth Hostel in the center of Glastonbury; check with the Youth Hostel Association online for info. Oh, and don't be put off by the "youth" designation - most YHA places will put up 'oldsters' as well as youngsters, based on availability...which brings us to the next point:

Glastonbury is very much worth a visit, but as it is a mecca for many a pagan and neo-pagan, Beltane might be one of those times you'll find it hard to come across lodging, affordable or otherwise. Calling ahead to the local Tourist Information office from London would be a great idea.

If you do get to that part of the UK - and a lovely part it is - try to take in the City of Wells, as well. It's "the Smallest City in England" ('city' in this case being defined as a population center with its own cathedral) and a charming place. The Bishop's Garden, home to the 'wells' or natural springs which give the city its name, is particularly beautiful and inspiring.

Again, Glastonbury is worth your time, but you may want to closing consider your timing this time...

Have a wonderful trip, in any event. And enjoy Scotland, another favorite place of ours!
