It is well known that some of the best music festivals in the world take place in the countryside. The most famous music event ever, Woodstock, took place on a dairy farm in 1969. Thousands gathered to enjoy the music and the event’s promotion of peace.
From there, countryside-based music festivals have gone from strength to strength. In the UK the most famous is Glastonbury, which usually takes place each year. Based on a Somerset farm, the event is not only a chance to enjoy some of the world’s best music, but an opportunity to get closer to nature and to enjoy an alternative lifestyle for a few days.
