People always vote for the same famous spots. The hidden walks and gardens further down this list are where you'll have the whole place to yourself. Worth exploring.

Did the #1 route last weekend with proper boots after all the rain. Absolutely worth it — the Cathedral views from the water meadows are something else entirely.

🏗️

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.
