A BRIEF HISTORY Torwell Chalet is located on the bottom slope of Glastonbury Tor itself. The property started life as a much smaller chalet but has been extended greatly over the years, becoming a peaceful if somewhat unusual home - but the original chalet still remains at its core! The chalet has views directly into the Chalice Well Gardens opposite, and is next to the White Spring. The piece of land upon which it sits was once part of a bigger plot which was known as the Chalice Orchard
