Salisbury
Known as ‘The city in the countryside’, the magnificent medieval city of Salisbury has it all: historic streets and alleyways, charming half-timbered buildings, traditional English eating houses and characterful shopping streets, not to mention a superb range of attractions, including the UK’s finest medieval cathedral.
Salisbury Cathedral offers one superlative after another, from the tallest spire in Britain and Europe’s oldest working clock to the world’s best-preserved Magna Carta. It stands in the largest medieval close in Britain, where you will also find award-winning museums and a superb National Trust property.
Salisbury’s individual shops are complemented by regular street markets and there’s a great choice of arts and cultural venues too. Nearby attractions include Stonehenge , Stourhead and Longleat.
