The hidden gems are always further down these lists. The places at the top are famous, not necessarily the best. Worth exploring before you default to #1.

Good to see this ranked by locals rather than tourists. The places that make it to the top here are genuinely deserving — not just the ones with the most TripAdvisor reviews.

🏗️

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.
