There are pubs on this list that are only ranked high because they do food. Purely as a drinking pub, the hidden gems are further down. Change my mind.

#2 has the best beer garden in Salisbury by a mile. If you're going in summer, it should be #1 no question. The vote doesn't account for season.

Some of Salisbury's pubs are genuinely historic — 16th century beams, flagstone floors, the lot. The ranking should weight character as much as the drinks. #3 wins on that front easily.

🏗️

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.
