MEGABOWL Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hello, this may seem an odd question but I’ll be driving from Bristol Airport to Basingstoke on June 13. If I wanted to detour past Worthy Farm just to have a look from the car where would be the best point? Obviously I know I won’t be able to get too close at that point. Thanks in advance.

DareToDibble Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Not really the answer you were looking for but I’ve always parked up by Pilton skate park and gone for a wander. You can actually see the Pyramid after a couple of minute walk down the hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flysheet Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 After you’ve gone through Pilton there’s a rise up the hill and you can pull in by a gate and across the valley. You’re a fair way off though from what I remember. I was there a week before last time. Went round to Gate A as well but there wasn’t as good a view. Wish I’d known about the skate park thing mind.

Not a chance I’m waking him up! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the spot mentioned in another post. I'm pretty sure this is where you can see over the valley to the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I must have been past it many a time but I’m usually driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeble Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Bowermead lane in Pilton has good views of the site, just be careful not to block the road. I used to collect milk from a farm over the back of pilton and would have to go down that lane, during the festival there’s always a few people up there with binos, just don’t block the road or stay too long.

Tiesto FTW Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 I popped to the site in April, and we parked on Hitchen Hill. You get a great view there, and with all the stages probably up by then, it'll be even better. BUT I think they might have the signs up saying "Glastonbury festival staff only" by now. Worth a try though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
