Ahhhh Salisbury – we love this beautiful medieval city. It’s known as the ‘city in the countryside’ and ideally located near rolling fields, water meadows, iron age forts, castle ruins, and the mysterious Stonehenge. We’ll show you the quaintest streets, the prettiest historic buildings…. and the best places to get a decent cuppa. There’s lots to see here, including the UK’s finest medieval cathedral, which still holds one of the original copies of Magna Carta, one of the most famous political documents in English history.
No tour of Salisbury is complete without a visit to the magnificent Salisbury Cathedral, which boasts the tallest spire in Britain. If you're feeling fit, you can even climb up the spire’s 13th century steps, to admire the views over Salisbury! The building is a gothic masterpiece, built in just 38 years from 1220.
The remarkable iron age fort of Old Sarum is where the Cathedral used to stand. We’ll take you on a tour that encompasses five thousand years of history… then enjoy an English ice cream as you admire the fantastic views over the Wiltshire landscape.
The tour guides certainly know their pubs – and they’ll take you for a traditional pie and chips, ploughman’s, or whatever you fancy. There are many historic watering holes in the city, some dating back hundreds of years, but don't worry, the salt and vinegar crisps have been restocked many a time since then!
