the most beautiful medieval cathedral in Britain. With the highest spire
at 123 meters, plus the best preserved Magna Carta and Europe's oldest
working clock, Salisbury Cathedral is sure to take your breath away.

is surely Britain's greatest national treasure, now a designated World
Heritage Site. Its original purpose is unclear to us, but some have
speculated that it was a temple made for the worship of ancient earth
deities. The beautiful and mysterious Stonhendge is 15 minutes drive
from Salisbury.

filming scenes from Mrs Brown and Sense and Sensibility.

Sarum was originally a huge iron hill fort. Old Sarum was later occupied
by the Romans and Saxons and finally by the Normans who built the
Castle, Cathedral and Bishops Palace. Only in the 13th century was the
Cathedral moved to its current location. The magnificent Old Sarum is 1
mile outside Salisbury.
