rumors about King Aurthor's legend, and visits from Jesus?

Glastonbury is a small city just past Somerset England, it's not a very big town, in fact in a 2011 census there were less than 12,000 residents. what it lacks in population it makes up for in beauty and land, here's a picture of it from the veiw of the Tor.
 Glastonbury is known best for a few myths, some of the most famous include king Aurthor and jesus. One includes moses, in the bible story where Moses struck a rock and water flowed through it, the monks and people of the church claimed all that flowed through the rock was from the river outside of the town. another of these myths was that Jesus and Joseph walked through there. However, perhaps the most well known myth surrounding glastonbury was that the Abby claimed to have found King aurthor and Queen Guinevere's graves outside the tor, indicating that they had ruled near there and if they ruled near there than the Holy grail went through there and possibly still could be there.
 Later it was said that the myths were disproved from happening in Glastonbury, after the fire of the first Tor the Abby needed money because of a financial crisis so they made up these occurrences to make money from tourism, id hat definitely true? no one can say for sure, one thing is for sure though, the Tor is breath takingly beautiful.
there is one last myth about Glasonbury though, it's expected that some home, some where near Glastonbury the ancient city of legends is near, the city of Avalon. Avalon is said to be where the Holy Grail was created and kept as well as where Aurthor was sent on a boat and healed after a major battle, it's also where he's said to have gotten Excalibur. The reason Avalon is said to be near is because there's said to be a fog that surrounds Avalon and only the truest in heart can pass through it to the other side. and, well, this picture shows the extent of Glastonbury's fog
