Glastonbury can be hard to get to but its worth it when you arrive. It does not matter what method of transport you use, the final leg of the journey will be by bus, taxi, car, bicycle or on foot. On this page we have tried to list the various options with links to timetables and booking faciities. Due to the time needed to get to Glastonbury we do not recommend attempting a day trip from London - you would need to be based in either Bristol or Bath to make a day-trip feasible and enjoyable.

By Coach

There are frequent coaches from London & Heathrow to Bristol, where you can connect with the 376 local bus to Glastonbury.
There is a daily service (403) that departs London at 19.00 and Glastonbuy at 06.50 - hence it is not possible to do a day trip from London by coach.
Timetables & Fares at the National Express website

By Train

Trains run from London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads, Taunton and Castle Cary.
There are local buses from Bristol Temple Meads to Glastonbury (376) and Taunton to Glastonbury (29). Note that there is no bus service to or from Taunton on Sundays and that services to and from Bristol stop in the early evening on Sundays.
From Castle Cary you will need a taxi. It is a 16 mile journey with a taxi fare of approx £30 depending on the time of day. It is advisable to book a taxi in advance - see below for numbers. Also note that taxis charge time and a half on Sundays which increases the fare to £45. There are occasional buses to Shepton Mallet from where you can take another bus to Street to connect with the Glastonbury bus but this is not recommended if you have not researched the times.

By Taxi

Essential from Castle Cary Railway station but otherwise it is much cheaper to use the local buses. But as the buses stop running early taxis are a useful method of transport for short local journeys.
