Trust defends Tor work

The National Trust has defended a decision to use concrete for a new footpath to the top of Glastonbury Tor, Somerset.
More than £300,000 has been found to pay for the restorations at the Tor.

Huge visitor numbers have led to erosion on the existing route up the hill – the Isle of Avalon of ancient legend.

But conservationists say the path should be re-laid with wood chippings, not concrete.
