Strange Characters In UK’s Weirdest Town 🇬🇧
Everyone is free to be who they want to be in Glastonbury, except Cyphers. They’re not welcome..
Pretty much everybody has heard of the legendary Glastonbury music festival, but few know much of the weird and eccentric town of Glastonbury itself. A place of myth and legend, sitting below the ancient Glastonbury Tor, the town is a place of magik and spiritualism. It attracts eccentric and diverse characters who seek an alternative lifestyle. I took a day out wandering the town’s streets and chatting to its diverse collection of unique locals. This was a day of random and frankly quite odd conversations, in a place where everyone is free and accepted to be who they choose to be. Apart from Cyphers, they’re not welcome.

Beware of Cyphers
😂😂😂 There's always one
Think he may had something to hide😂
😂😂😂
Read Between The Lines copper
In fairness who wants to be filmed ! The reason alot of the people who are there are there to get away from cameras shoved in their face and all that kind of world brings with it !
The Geordie gentleman’s chalk art should be painted on the pavement permanently. It looks beautiful and would definitely put people in a positive mood. x
Totally agree
I absolutely concur.
Excellent work
I spent a night in a police cell and ended up in court for chalking on a pavement outside my kids school telling them I love em.
Should be on the side of a house
I like your videos, I watch a lot, however, I find it a strange choice that you included the fella who didn't want to be filmed in the video, I would have cut it out, doesn't matter if you're not breaking the law, he opted out and that should be respected. Great video as always, don't take this as criticism, it's just my opinion. 👍
Exactly. Might be legal but posting his face as the intro to a video seems disrespectful.
Maybe he could have walked away instead of getting into a discussion about it. Im talking about the Guy & NOT Wendall. .The guy said it was illegal for him to film him & Wendall explained there is no expectation of privacy in Public.. If that had been me then I would have walked away but we aren't talking about a normal thinking person here(Looked like he had a drink or 2). The Reading Guy even asked the other bloke to leave because he wanted to talk to Wendall & was quite happy to be filmed.
Yeah I agree I don't want to watch it now. Respect people's wishes!
Just because it's legal to film anyone in public, it doesn't mean any other laws don't apply to you. He's actually committing offences by causing alarm and distress, stalking and harassment for KZhead clout! I hate these kinds of streamers that use other people's misery for profit, harass them and then use this it's legal to film bs. If someone tells you to leave them alone and you continue to follow them and antagonise them you're breaking the law. Targeting vulnerable people, he won't be doing that to someone who can defend themselves or to anyone of size, he would quickly move on. He picks his vulnerable targets which is disgusting.
I've lived near Glastonbury and also in West Wales in the past and they have a lot in common in that aswell as attracting the Surrey green welly brigade who want to keep lamas and knit their own ethnic yogurt, they also act as a dumping ground who have records for let's say liking children. A lot of them try and stay under the radar and out of the public eye whilst carrying on with their hobby. I'm not saying that this guy is a hobbyist but it's something that newcomers moving to these type of places aren't initially aware of. I don't live far from Hay on Wye which is a low key version of Glastonbury which is another place I'd like to see a video of.
I live in a village just outside Glastonbury town, l did live there for a few months. There isn't anywhere like it. I'm from Manchester originally, the 1st time l visited here l knew l was going to move here when my kids grew up. That was 26/7 yrs ago. I found the openmindedness acceptance of others rare. I witnessed hippies, pagans, christians, jews, hari krishna's, witches, druids etc etc....all sat together & chatting in/outside cafes. Never experienced that before, also wearing whatever they like without judgment from others. No one goes hungry in this town either, always free food on offer.... It's also true the police are gentler here & more lenient. I couldn't live back in muggledom where people are so brainwashed & conditioned. I never fitted in at school or where l lived. I feel so at home here, we have amazing musicians too that put on lots of concerts. Everyday there's something on in town too, finding yourself & who you are is encouraged & not mocked. I really can't imagine living anywhere else.......
Nice comment, thank you.🌹 I love Glastonbury and its people too.
Spiritual people always think deeper xx ❤
I'm frm Manchester,I moved to Cornwall 5 yrs ago with my partner an kids and found the whole place an vibe much more chilled,Glastonbury is definitely unique tho,and definitely has a special vibe, although sth mcr has some great characters and a bohemian rebellious undertone I agree u get conditioned to city life Good luck an hope u have many happy more yrs in the sw.
My experience of Glastonbury is that it attracts people who are burnt out and looking for peace. Some find it especially those with money who can afford a nice place to live and look after themselves.
Everytime I'm in Glastonbury i always overhear some really bonkers conversations. The last time I was waiting outside a crystal shop for my wife and son (who were being upsold on some sort of crystal cleansing device!) I was listening to a man earnestly explaining that we were on the fourth astral plane and that the reality you think you know is all a lie! Just up the road, waiting outside of a toy shop (had the dog with us) a woman was telling a fella on a bench that he was a poet, which he did not like as he was apparently a fairy! I love visiting, it's such a mad place, but has a really friendly vibe to it!
Sorry but if the guy didn’t wanna be on camera you should cut that part off why put someone on here who doesn’t want be filmed 🤦🏽♂️
yeah its called basic human respect
Oh shut up
Yeah. The "it's my right, even if it bothers you" bit was a bit much
I thought he was triangulating, making it about defending the man he was talking too and then himself.
That old mate was just being a deliberate shite stirrer ... he could have easily moved ... but nah, he just wanted to argue & be obnoxious ... too bad, so sad
Really happy to see a shopping district that is not boarded up!
That guys art on the pavement was fantastic. Not sure why Glastonbury council would want to get rid of it, of all places.
I would imagine the Council fear of others trying. Gaz is exceptional, we can all enjoy that. Perhaps having it removed is in fact an advantage, it causes the need to create once more, possibly different each time, that would be my take away.👍
You want inspirational quotes you didn't choose everywhere you look when you go shopping?
Glastonbury is an amazing place spiritually. You have the tor, white and chalice wells and some lovely diverse people and a great place to visit.
In the early 90's i pulled up at the Tor on a motorcycle just before the sun came up. A hippie wizard asked me to walk up the hill to the Tor with him to see the sunrise ... a crow walked up the hill with us at the side of him. As the sun rose you could hear the sun [ no lie] .
mad stuff always happens like this it is not just a hippy dippy place it is special
What did it sound like?
Tor is one of the most beautiful places ever
Funny you said that [ I know ] but it was with a buddy Jason Valentine [ Jayvee channel ] I walked up there lol... The universe reacts lol. @@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek
@IMMORTALDIO The most magical place I've ever been to, it just has that vibe and the wind that blows through the arch in the tower at the top of the Tor is so soothing for the soul.
This was a really good upload. I absolutely loved hearing how the Police got that homeless guy quilts and stuff. It's such a refreshing change to hear how they went out of their way along with the Fire Brigade to help the homeless.
I live in rural France , there is an ex English police officer here who says he left the police because it was being referred to as " The Police Force " when in fact it should be the "Police Service " he got put off by the attitudes and mentality of most officers . So good to hear the Glastonbury police seem to be a service rather than a force .
@@jaquesdaniels2964 Are you sure he's not just quoting Hot Fuzz
@@jaquesdaniels2964 It was officially called the police force until the '90s. Maybe he misunderstood? They were always helpful to all sorts of people until it was renamed the police service.
Cos they have nothing else to do In this area. Police in other areas actually have jobs to go to.im not joking either.
Holy shit, met Taurus many years ago, we went to glastonbury festival together, and his whole life changed in a few days and he just never went home, this was around 20 years ago, and he's still there! Great to see your face if you see this mate, remember the 3 disciples? lol. much love Pete
That happens to so many people in Glastonbury. GLASTOFARI
Seriously? Man I went in 2000 and 2002, must have blown his mind. It is a special festival.
This sounds like something id do. I went for a drive to Windermere for no reason at all. Ended up buying a boat totally out of the blue on a different lake because i got lost and have been there ever since.
Taurus is my uncle ❤️❤️
@@xMegowanx oh wow! Such a great dude, only knew him briefly and never thought I'd see him again, but have never forgotten him and the adventure we had, am overdue a glastonbury visit, so I hope our paths will cross again :)
Wise words from 'Gaz the Glastonbury Geordie'.
I like Gaz, I see him whhen I'm there on Tuesdays. He's a veteran, please make a donation if you see him.
I saw someone drawing there the other day in pretty much that spot ,may of been him
Crazy how diverse and different the vibe can be just from going from one town, a few miles to a next town. Some real gems out there.
When my eldest was a rookie cop with Avon and Somerset Constabulary her first posting was at Wells, on her first day she was told by her gaffer that Wells was 'The rose between two thorns', the 'two thorns' being Glasto and Shepton Mallet.
Great video as always. Even though it's legal to film someone in public, I still have my own personal code on who I would film and how closely. Especially now that social media is so widespread and worldwide, we all need to be careful about how other people feel when we film them without consent (especially if we have thousands or millions of viewers and we are in someone's local town). It's more about ethics than the law, especially if someone is obviously in pain or is distressed. I worry about those streamers who purposefully make a nuisance of themselves in public. They could negatively effect people's right to film in public in future. I think you do a great job with your moral code and are very respectful, I just wanted to vent on this subject as it came up in the video.
Yeah just because it's not against the law, that doesn't mean we can't respect people's wishes not to be filmed ... especially if they are not doing anything wrong (if they ARE doing anything wrong then there may be good reason to be filming them).
Agreed 👍 😊😊😊
Used to spend a lot of time around Glastonbury. A Sunset from the Tor is beautiful.
Mid summer watching the sun go down, the guy playing the bongos that can hit you pretty deep 😊
Probably one of the best video's you've made dude. I kinda agree with the guy who said it should be illegal to film someone else in public, the only reason they won't change the law is because cctv footage wouldn't stand in court but, its immoral to film anyone without their consent.
Well if that law got passed you would kiss goodbye to 50% of all KZhead content 💀
@@WendallExplores No we wouldn't mate and I do believe you ask most of the people on your video's first. All you would need is acknowledgement on film first to avoid a court hearing. But if my image appeared on the multiverse without my permission then it's I that own it .... Not you
@@stevegreen8393 think of every photograph or phone video you ever take in a public place, every person latently captured without their consent, you would be breaking the law. Welcome to North Korea 💀
I agree with you, however when some asks you not to film them you should stop . Cctv is there for crime prevention yours is for entertainment/income
Agree as it looked like he was being harassed sorry just saying
You should go to Totnes now that's a strange place, yet with a unique atmosphere. Hippies mixed with very well to do people
Thanks for that information. ❤
For real, just outside of Torbados of which in itself is a marjoridore of inhabitants.
I was gonna say the same thing about Totnes. You beat me to it. 🙂
Totnes for sure and up the road GlasDenbury.
Totnes is great!
The guy that gave you a reading was an interesting guy, he was my favorite person on this video. Also loved the artist with the rainbow mandala and quote. Art should be shown on the sidekick, the council is no fun. It looks like an interesting place to explore, Glastonbury.
Taurus, Aka Nigel Dibble, nice guy
This was the most interesting visit you’ve ever done Wendall…brilliant..
yea, definitely Wendall on top form.
That mandalla picture was incredible. Those colours. I can't stop thinkign about it. It's beautiful.
I went for a wander round Glastonbury once. When I arrived at the car park in the town centre, there was a woman picking weeds that were growing up the side of the fence next to the car park. Half an hour later I saw the same woman and she was trying to sell said weeds to passers by as lucky heather. She obviously clocked me from earlier when I walked past and she nodded and wished me a 'appy solstice'. It was late July. That was a good few years ago now and it still makes me giggle when I think about it. Definitely some characters there you're not wrong :). Love it.
I think your story perfectly accurately captures the vibe of that place!
@@ChrisAlexT 😂
having grown up there,i can quite honestly say, ignore the town, head for the hills and countryside. thats where the true magic is.
Nice to listen to a couple of clued up folk getting the word out on the street
That was great! Maybe you could do a 'Glastonbury part two' video, as it seems such an interesting place. You could go inside some of the shops and talk to more locals. Loved it, wished it was twice as long, thanks Wendall! :)
+1 vote for a follow up. It'd be great.
You'll be hard pushed to find "locals" in the town. Glastonbury attracts the " alternatives," originally known as "New Age Travellers" or "Hippies" when they first descended on the town in the late 1960s/early 1970s.
@@tx5190Plenty of locals, actually.
Definitely your strangest video to date! Would be interesting to see a return visit where shops and businesses are visited. Keep the great material coming!
Lovely video. I never knew the town was so unique. Nicely done sir
Fun town
Liam looks a lovely lad. I hope he gets himself sorted out soon. ❤
This one was really different from most of the other street videos you have made. Even if people sleep rough, it seems to be easier in Glastonbury. Thank you. Really interesting video 😊
Going around Glastonbury is like being inside a real life fantasy rpg
I used to live a bus ride away from Glastonbury. And yes I can honestly say, there's some oddballs there
That woman/bloke thing was nuts!
They might be a bit nuts, but they were speaking truth.
Liam a bright articulate young Man should not be out on the streets.
Nobody should be out on the streets no matter how bright or articulate they are.
Last time I went to there I randomly handed out psychedelic mushroom honey to strangers because that’s the kind of thing that should happen to you at Glastonbury
Not all heroes wear Capes.
loved this video - a lot of fascinating characters. Loved Gaz's chalk drawing.
He lives rough, please help if you can. He's a veteran.
That floor art is absolutely beautiful , how sad it gets washed away..he could make money if he put that on boards to sell...amazing gorgeous..I'd pay tenner for one.
Purple lady was very upset about a lot of things. I hope she finds some peace in something somewhere one day.
Don't mention Brexit to her😂😂
Good to see Glasto on your channel mate, I lived there for years and i'm now in Street, the next town along. I know all these people and the town very well. Its a great place but there is, like any place, some darkness. Keep up the good work.
What type of darkness
Ive visited Glasto many times over the years, made friends, had some lovely experiences. However, that gentleman's description of it being an "outside asylum" is, for me, not far from the truth. I can only visit for 2-3 days and not that often, as there is definitely a dark heavy energy there. I think its due to what was said about people who come seeking healing, troubled souls. This makes Glastonbury a real hot spot of, what one local I knew described it as, dumped negative energy. However, its so interesting and there's a sense of anything goes.
Dark energy. Haha. Rubbish. Glasto is what you make of it. Smoke smack and sit on the bench outside the coop all day and it will seem dark. Live a healthy happy life away from chasing dragons and its a happy warm welcoming place.
Glasto is brilliantly weird
Agreed
If you enjoyed Glastonbury then you would LOVE Totnes! One of the world’s top 10 funky towns, twinned with Narnia 😊
Gaz with the street art is telling the truth. In about 5 years time, a lot of people will open their eyes and realise the real lies
I see Gaz on Tuesdays if it's not raining. I hand out free papers near where he works. He's a veteran who lives rough, a lot of people help him if they can. Warm food, a little cash, a decent coat. A clever man indeed, I always enjoy talking with him.
Thanks for showing this! It angered me when I heard the council comes around and scrubs away the Fine Art on the sidewalk. If I saw them remove it I would break their brooms.
The council there are unpopular for many reasons, particularly the mayoress who is rumoured to be XR and that she was installed rather than elected.
Love it man! Great commentary, interesting characters and a touch of drama 🙏🏽
I love living in Glastonbury for so many reasons, but one is that there is little in the way of small talk here, even with people you've just met. They feel free to get straight to the heart of communicating their beliefs, perceptions, interests, and so on because, as one your interviewees mentioned, it feels like there's generally less judgement here. Folk have mostly come here for one reason or another to connect with spirit, and are open to sharing their journey and experiences. Scratch the surface, and you'll find people from all walks of life, and much compassion, creativity, and skill.
Thanks again for getting more grassroots insights like these Wendall!
No worries
Glastonbury is a truly eccentric place and has its very own unique character! I’m glad you included the guy who didn’t want to be filmed. If he was so bothered about It he could have walked away, but he didn’t….so that’s on him! Well done for standing up for yourself Wendall!
you missed the Tor, Springs, Well, and the Dragon
I enjoyed this video a lot, one of your best. Its obviously a very diverse place and nice to see a High Street with lots of independent shops.
I love ALL your video uploads, but this is by far the best of them all! Keep doing what you're doing. You're definitely doing something right! Happy New Year to you and yours. 😊
Love it. Glasto is great. No wonder my mum loves it so much, she's a strange un. To be fair mate, the festival is nearer the village of Pilton and not really Glastonbury at all.
Been there many a times, so relaxing, the Tor is well worth the climb, when you come back down you feel so refreshed, folk say it's because of the Ley Lines that cross there, either way, great feeling. The people are really cool, they will spend as long as you want to simply sit and talk with you. Well worth a visit, the Abbey is also very tranquil and if you're lucky, yoiu may even see a monk walking the grounds. Great video BTW.
There is still joyment among the people who are living with no decent income, so that the Glastonbury is not as devasted as the other places and a place to visit for seeing different lifestyle.
You should have respected the wishes of that chap who didn't want to be filmed by cutting that bit of the video, it didn't really add much anyway.
I agree. Sometimes, it is better to just humour a person rather than recite the old "no expectation of privacy in public" line.
Yay you did it! I left a message on one of your other vids suggesting Glasto would be right up your street a few weeks ago. Great vid Wendall. Please visit again in the Summer, the vibes are totally different in warm weather 😎
Yes! Summer is the time to go.
You know, you may have "the right" to film in public places, but a lot of people don't like being filmed. And outside their own personal home almost everywhere is public. Spouting "I have the right" is the new Western way of showing dominance without giving respect to people. Taking advantage, making money on KZhead, feeling, self-righteous. You wonder why your country is turning to sh*t it's because this mentality is almost ubiquitous, yet so harmful to society. And it's not just about filming people, but everyone's entitlement to "rights" that are very individual and not respectful of society and others.
are you saying nobody should use a camera? because ive took many photos of things and caught other people in them. also he was filming and that fella came over to someone with a camera when he didnt want to be on camera, im also offended by the colour yellow but people still wear it outside without thinking of my feelings
@@mat_allthegearfishing It's pretty obvious what I said. Read it again. People who are intrusively filming other people are a menace. I'm sure you've experienced it yourself when taking photos/videos you try not to intrude on other people's personal space, especially if you get the impression they don't want to be filmed. In case you can't read, I didn't say anything about the "fella" in my comment.
Well said, he’s learnt nothing from the vibe of the place in this experience clearly. A lot of the people that live here are outliers and quoting standard laws to them is a massive turn off for them.
@@mat_allthegearfishingThe dude's not just out with a camera, he's specifically going after homeless people, the elderly, infirm, mentally ill / neurodivergent, addicts, and generally anyone who looks or acts a bit goofy and sticking it online to a massive audience for clicks. Don't be disingenuous, you know what this sort of content is. It may not be openly sneering like Jeremy Kyle but the gaze is similarly contemptuous behind the pearl-clutching.
@@AmbroseCadwell yeah it feels like poverty porn all over again, like the show benefits street etc
Been a big fan of your videos but this has to be one of the most interesting yet! Keep it up
Great video buddy! Somerset is my homeland, great to see you shining a light on glastonbury. It's an awesome place with amazing people!
Loving your work Wendall and Glastonbury is awesome!!
I dig your channel bro, and it gives me joy which I really do appreciate, but just one thing, please...if someone doesnt want to be filmed, dont put it in the edit, he didnt know you from Adam, and you did invade his space. Yes you are in your rights to film, but that interaction wasnt cool to watch. Confrontation is a soul sucker. Peace and love tho man
Legal but not necessarily ethical. After all, it's taking someone's image without their consent...theft...even if they're oblivious?
That fella was just deliberately being a shite stirrer & wanted an argument ... he could have easily moved ... too bad so sad
@@Heather-xz3eo yeaah nah
Having worked there and been for a night out there, I can confirm it has a strange vibe but also friendly too. There are a lot of different individuals around the town and characters who have a story to tell and will openly chat to non locals.
Happy New year wendell Thanks for your video
I’d enjoy this if you let these people talk instead of butting in while they are trying to talk
Yes I’ve noticed he does that a lot. I think he wants it to be his wording or his verbal agenda on the show more than the people that he’s obviously making money off of without sharing that money or without getting those people consent to film them to make money off them.
@@purplebutterfly7257what a load of bollocks
@@Heather-xz3eo What’s a load of bollocks my comment or the KZheadr?
I suppose the place has got it's 'mystical' thing that enables the small shop keepers to keep going, against the tide of Pound and charity shops that seems to have taken over every other town in the UK. Did you get the feeling that the High Street was doing OK?
High street very healthy
Yes the high street is very much alive. Lots of tourists pass through every day. No empty shops unlike surrounding towns.

Wendall I like your exploration s in different places in Britain, you show what the vibe is and what people make of their day to day lives, kudos to you, keep them coming. 😅
Utterly charming and lovely video, spot on about 'free speech' as long as it fits the narrative. God bless you Wendall 🙏 Cheers for the video as always, take care and stay safe! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
Such an interesting place, I went there years ago out of season for a wander round. The carpark always makes me laugh, in that it seems particularly neat & tidy. Got that hippie, spiritual, anti-establishment vibe, the latter being what you saw in the man not wanting to be filmed. He prob doesn't believe it's morally right to film people even in a public place, 20 yrs ago or so, more people would likely have agreed. The man doing the reading had a nice energy, would have liked to have seen more of your reading if not too personal. I think he would have sat there all day to help someone figure stuff out, seemed like he genuinely wanted to help! Really appreciated this video, your videos are always good, but it's nice to see somewhere less downtrodden than a lot of the towns visited, prob coz they have a unique perspective on life, they never really lost the "highstreet" like other places have as their shops are all independent, that in itself is really cool & unusual! I'm not sure if it might be that the town planners won't allow big chains, that is monumental in this day & age, & it has served them well if that is the case. How wonderful to see free-thinking in action for the good of everyone!
That guys art work was crazy good!
Great stuff as always!
The Mirror newspaper has picked up your vlog! Well done highlighting homelessness in the UK.
They love a Wendall day out in the Mirror
Thank you - I enjoyed this, I would certainly like to visit here after watching this!
Well worth a visit
I moved to a village just on the outskirts of Glastonbury five years back, because......I am strange, weird & wonderfully unique. I was even openly blessed out on the high street not long ago. It's a glorious place to live🏳️🌈🇬🇧❤️
...jeez mate, this video alone has sparked my interest to visit this town.. it's like all the folk you interviewed - could come straight off a movie set - real characters lol. Also the Cops from other areas can learn a thing or two from the law enforcement in Glastonbury:)... I would recommend you covering Croydon - a real mixed bag !! And especially since they have an exhibition at the library on how the town was in its hay day compared to now... One area is like a mini Manhattan and next to that - it looks like a bomb site - so worth checking out!! Thanks mate - inspiring as always...!!!
I've been subscribed to your KZhead channel for awhile now and love watching your adventures. I loved this Glastonbury one especially because i live and work in this town. It would be great if you come back and make a part two like others have suggested. Fingers crossed on this . Looking forward to watching more of your videos 😊 x
Glad you enjoy the explorations 🙏
The comments from the woman about the Royal Family, and also from the chalk artist referring to the deep occultism that perpetuates the matrix are absolutely spot on. Great video 👍
Yeah I have heard all about this too, the world is slowly waking up
@@angelofchrist4494 Definitely 👍
The comments about the occult and the connections are true,this truth is out there with some time,how blind and deaf some people are,wake up before u cant
The other most mystical place ive been to in the uk is Aberystwyth and the Lyn Peninsular….
Like the vids Wendall, Keep up the Good work, All the Best, Onwards & Upwards 😎👍
Great walk through the town..subbed
I wonder where all the born and bred Glastonbury people were.
Great content. Love how you interact with less fortunate
Wow that was wild 😂 Thanks for sharing.
These are great to watch..... wishing they were longer....!
After watching that I feel normal, not many in my village would agree.
I used to live in Glastonbury and still visit regularly. As you say, lots of colourful characters and a great sense of community - nowhere else like it. I love it - and would move back there in a shot if I could afford it. Thanks for the respectful video.
absolutely brilliant and unique place. stayed there a few times with a friend of ours.
Glastonbury keeping the faith into England
Already by the 10th minute i must say brilliant vid mate!
It is unethical and illegal to film someone without permission for commercial uses. in ireland anyway he could ask for a part of your profit of the video
He wanted an argument & was deliberately being a shite stirrer ... had plenty of opportunity to move out of camera ... too bad, so bloody sad
I have some friends live and own a business in Glastonbury. This video sums my friends up perfectly - friendly and unique.
Great Channel this one.. Hoping you have a great new year Wendall mate n im sure this year your channel will get to 200 k 'you'll see. cheers from nsw n all the best.
Katoomba in the nsw blue Mountains was n still is quite like that where there is many hippies n vanlifers Wendall even more so than Byron my friend.. Byron Bay was good once but once the 2000s came like most places it was destroyed n went down hill just like the city of Sydney nsw sadly also.
That is a good shout, I remember Katoomba I’ve been there!
Most of them seem friendly enough, but they also remind me of the people in the smoking area of raves who chew your ear off and talk at you for hours... I think my patience would wear a bit thin!
I'm there every week, you get to know who to avoid. Most are ok though.
It's a complete misconception that the town is full of hippies. Yes there may be a few but they're hugely outnumbered by the most diverse population you could imagine. It's a very eclectic mix of people from all over the world. I've lived here for 17 years and absolutely love it. I run two shops and we get the most amazing mixture of customers you could imagine. ( no, we don't sell crystals, instruments, hippy clothing or weed 😂) During the bi-annual fairy ball we have the most unbelievable range of folk in the most elaborate costumes you could imagine. We have Druid's, witches, self titled aliens and lizard folk, famous people, not so famous people. Tarot readers. Gypsys, psychics, mediums, clairvoyants, Wizards (surprised he wasn't on the street. Usually at the Abbey gateway). King Arthur's, Merlin's, Morgaine Le Fey, even Jesus Christ has returned several times in different guises. Best time to come is end of July/beginning of August for Glastonbury town at its prime I would say. There plenty 'normal' shops and lots of pubs and cafes also. Sitting and listening to some of the conversations that happen around you may be an eye opener 😂 If you would rather come when it's quiet, come during the festival, the town is a complete ghost town as Rainbow Tony stated in your video above. Glastonbury is the most amazing town in the world for the open minded ❤❤
Yet incredibly white. Not much diversity going on 😅
Lots of small towns are all white..especially down south
@@davehoward22 this town is colourful not monochrome :)
Clearly that chap was upset, potentially mental health problems or perhaps he genuinely doesn’t want people to know where he lives ! Either way you come across as an unkind person to then post him in your film ! It’s not like you were short of material ! Would be interested in your channel, but not after that !
Visited many times, my favorite place. You didn't walk the Tor or the Chalice well garden. The Abbey is not to miss as well. Please do another video of this awesome place.
Enjoying your stories Wendell from Australia 😎👌🇦🇺
I met a wonderful man name Rio when I was in Newquay Cornwall a few months ago. Very interesting gentleman, we chatted for 4 hours on livestream. Although I am no longer in the UK it seems there are many Rios in the small towns of England based on your videos, hope to visit again in the future.
I come from Cornwall. I used to love going to Newquay day and night life alike. I come from that small boring village everybody drives though called Bugle lol. Live in Plymouth now. Still like looking around different towns. It cool how different each town and city can feel.
Bad start - you should have respected the guy's space rather than give him a lecture. Life's too short to be arguing the toss, be kind and show respect?
He didn't respect me and Taurus making a video
Yeah that was very very rude of Wendell very rude
