There is a central marketplace (local markets twice a week), many medieval buildings including the Cathedral and moated Bishops Palace, a small but busy local shopping centre and a broad range of societies and activities.</em></div><div><em>Glastonbury's past and its present are linked with its dominant landmark, the Tor. It’s been a religious centre from the times of legends. A Celtic monastery evolved into one of England's wealthiest and most influential abbeys. The town grew up alongside the Abbey and is now a thriving market town and a major tourist venue. Medieval Glastonbury - designated a conservation area - clusters around the evocative ruins of the Abbey. Castle Cary is another delightful and historic town which lies to the east, and which has a main line train station to London.</em></div><div><em>There are facilities and amenities in the surrounding towns to suit most needs and excellent state and independent schools including Strode College, Millfield, Wells, Cathedral, Hazelgrove, All Hallows, Downside, Sherborne and the Bruton schools.</em></div><div> </div><div><strong><em>Important Notes</em></strong></div><div><strong><em>Please see all the notes below – particularly the section referring to identity and AML requirements</em></strong></div><div><em> </em></div><div><strong><em><u>Identity verification & Anti Money Laundering (AML) Requirements</u></em></strong></div><div><em>As Estate Agents we are require by law to undertake Anti Money Laundering (AML) Regulation checks on any purchaser who has an offer accepted on a property.</em></div><div><em>We are required to use a specialist third party service to verify the purchaser(s) identity.</em></div><div><em>The cost of these checks is £60 (inc.
