From the info board -
Glastonbury Tor is one of the most famous and sacred landmarks in the West Country. From the summit at 158 metres, you can get amazing views over three counties - Somerset, Dorset and Wiltshire.
'Tor' is a West Country word of Celtic origin meaning hill. The conical shape of Glastonbury Tor is layered - due to its rocks. It is made up of horizontal bands of clays and limestone with a cap of hard sandstone. The sandstone resists erosion, but the clays and limestone have worn away, resulting in the steep slopes
