Wearyall Hill is an elongated low hill lies to the southwest of the
town. It is here that
St Joseph of Arimathea is said to have placed his
staff in the ground when he landed all-weary from his journey from the
Holy Land.
His staff sprouted and became the Holy Thorn, the descendants of which
still blossom today at Christmastide. A cutting of the
Holy Thorn is
sent just before each Christmas to the Queen's table. The hill is open
to the public.
