In south west England, there’s a pretty city that’s often overlooked as a tourist destination – but it’s perfect for a trip. Filled with things to do and see, the small city enchants its visitors with its cobbled medieval streets, centuries-old buildings, and an iconic UK cathedral.
Just minutes from Stonehenge, Salisbury is a thriving city that keeps visitors on their toes. If you enjoy browsing shops, it’s home to around 150 independent businesses which visitors and locals alike enjoy exploring. With similarities to other popular cities such as Chester, York and Lincoln, Sainsbury is worth a trip.
One must-visit spot is Salisbury Cathedral, which is home to Britain’s tallest spire.
It is also home to the original 1215 Magna Carta which is one of the best-preserved copies in existence.
One person who visited on TripAdvisor said: “An amazing building with great history – worth visiting for the architecture alone.”
Another person penned: “A truly incredible place with its incredible architecture, atmosphere and fantastic helpers.
“The cathedral is breathtaking and at the same time sombre. The history and age of the place defy belief.”
But this is not the only thing to do while you’re in Salisbury. Exploring the city on foot is the best way to see it, and there’s a huge range of walks for you to enjoy in the area.
You can stroll along footpaths in the countryside which surround the city, such as the Town Path, which connects Queen Elizabeth Gardens to the Harnham area of the city.
One person who visited Queen Elizabeth Gardens on Tripadvisor said: “Well worth a visit, lovely peaceful place by the water, loads of benches.
“The surrounding area is great for exploring the city and its many attractions. Dog friendly, family friendly and within easy walk of the town centre and Cathedral. Go there, you won’t regret it.”
The city’s green spaces make it the perfect place to visit in warm weather.
For an exciting trip with a huge variety of places to see, Salisbury is a must this summer.
