Booked #1 for a birthday and it was fine — but fine doesn't justify the price. #3 is half the cost and twice the atmosphere. Worth knowing before you splash out.

The ranking looks different on a Tuesday vs a Saturday. Some of these places nail the weekday lunch crowd; others only shine on a busy weekend service. Worth visiting both.

🏗️

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.
