I've lived in Salisbury for 15 years and these rankings get more accurate every month. The voting system is working — keep going, locals.

The ranking here is roughly right but I'd swap #2 and #3. The one lower down has improved massively in the last year and deserves more votes than it's getting.

Always surprised by how many people vote for the top spot without having visited recently. Places change — a business that was #1 two years ago isn't always #1 today.

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.
