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.

The top spot on this list is beautiful but gets absolutely packed on bank holidays. If you want to actually enjoy it, go midweek or in autumn. The lower-ranked spots are more peaceful year round.

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.

🏗️

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.
