Everyone votes for the places with the nicest Instagram aesthetic. Half of these cafés serve mediocre coffee in a pretty room and people lap it up. Judge them on the actual cup, not the vibe.

The hidden gem here is definitely further down the list. Been going there every Saturday for two years. No queues, proper homemade food. The places at the top are tourist traps.

🏗️

Salisbury Cathedral was built in just 38 years (1220–1258), which is extraordinarily fast for a medieval building of its size — most cathedrals took centuries.

💧

Salisbury Cathedral is built on a raft of clay and gravel over a bog — the Victorians added 6,000 tonnes of stone to one side to stop it sinking further.

🏯

Old Sarum is one of the oldest settlements in Britain — it has been continuously occupied since the Iron Age, over 3,000 years ago.
