Salisbury Walking Holidays

Salisbury works well as a base at either end of a walk. The cathedral holds the best preserved of the four surviving copies of Magna Carta and a mechanical clock dating from 1386, thought to be the oldest in Britain, and its spire is the tallest in the country. Beyond the walled Close, a medieval grid of streets and alleyways is easy to wander, and the water meadows give you the view Constable painted. Old Sarum sits on the hill above.

Introduction to Salisbury

Salisbury works well as a base at either end of a walk.

Beyond the walled Close, a medieval grid of streets and alleyways is easy to wander, and the water meadows give you the view Constable painted. Old Sarum sits on the hill above.
