Salisbury's restaurant scene has genuinely improved in the last couple of years. The real debate isn't #1 vs #2 — it's whether any of these would stand up to a city like Bath or Bristol. Jury's out.

Always surprised when locals overlook the smaller independent places lower down this ranking. The #1 spot has a great marketing budget, the others have better kitchens.

🏗️

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.
