Salisbury is an ancient town set on the edge of Salisbury Plane, in the county of Wiltshire, home to forty five thousand people. History and charm oozes at every turn with half timbered houses where fascinating shops are uncovered, and tempting narrow streets. The town originally was positioned high on a hill a short distance away where the ancient Iron Age settlers built their Hillfort, the Romans, and the Normans followed all of whom left their mark, with a castle and cathedral. Although their lofty position afforded terrific views the lack of water, and friction between the church led them to dismantle the cathedral and move to the present site of the town which is skirted by high walls that date far back into history. 13th Century Salisbury Cathedral rises up from a sea of green to the tallest spire in England of 404' breath stealing architecture dominates the skyline, with gothic towers and gem coloured stained glass windows. The cloisters and fabulous arches evokes thoughts of pilgrims before, and if that wasn't enough it's home to one of the original four copies of the Magna Carta. Opposite the Cathedral will find an intriguing Museum housed in The King's House dating back to the 13th Century where there's a memorable story waiting to be told. Medieval chapters saw the rise in prosperity with a bustling market, today sees the Market Square with the old Poultry Cross built to shelter the traders and inviting pavement cafes which offer a chance for a rest and to watch the world go by, photographers step over the artists busy at work capturing the essence of the market. Five rivers, an International Arts Festival, and close to the mystery and magic of Stonehenge, Salisbury is a pocket full of wishes just waiting to be granted.
