About Salisbury - Superbly situated in southern England's rural heartland, few destinations can match the amazing diversity of Salisbury and Stonehenge - with a history dating back over 5,000 years there is no shortage of places to visit, all conveniently located within an hour or so's drive of each other.
Shopping - Thanks to its origins in medieval times, many of our shops are housed in charming half-timbered buildings. As well as all the major chains Salisbury has an intriguing range of those smaller, individual shops you don't find on every high street, and the thriving Charter Market has been coming to Salisbury every Tuesday and Saturday for almost 800 years.

Things to do - Visit medieval Salisbury: the perfect fusion of ancient and modern; and the megalithic monument of Stonehenge: prehistoric, mysterious, unique. But there is so much more to be discovered, from an Iron Age hill fort to a 14th century castle... a Roman villa to a haunted hostelry... a Saxon Abbey to a Georgian silk mill. Salisbury Cathedral has the highest spire in the UK soaring a breathtaking 123 metres (404 feet) into the sky, it is visible from every direction, dominating the landscape for many miles around.
