Been eating out in Salisbury for 20 years. The turnover of restaurants here is brutal — the ones that survive long enough to make these lists are usually the ones doing something genuinely right.

Reliable Italian on a pedestrianised street. The weekday set lunch is excellent value. Good for families and groups. The tiramisu is always worth ordering.

🏗️

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.
