Salisbury

Salisbury is best known for its cathedral, whose spire is the tallest in Britain and whose chapter house holds an original Magna Carta. Salisbury Museum sits opposite in the Cathedral Close and covers Stonehenge and Old Sarum. Old Sarum itself, the abandoned hilltop original of the city, is a short drive and good for running about. Hayball hire bikes if you want to follow the river paths, and Five Rivers covers swimming. Stonehenge is around twenty minutes away and makes an easy addition.
