The cathedral, its cloisters and extensive grounds are beautiful but sorry citizens of Salisbury, I was not impressed with your 'city' - lots of drunks making a noise in the market square.
The cathedral has tallest church spire in England (123m). Inside, the Magna Carta exhibition was very impressive and the cathedral guides were well informed and very helpful.
The oldest known working clock. There is no face so you cannot tell what time it is. It was designed to cause a bell to chime to indicate the time for each cathedral service.
The Salisbury font was designed by the renowned British water sculptor William Pye. Cruciform in shape, the font has a 3-metre span to allow total immersion baptism.
After Salisbury we took a trip to Shaftsbury to try to find a boy and a bike in a Hovis advert. He was long gone but Golden Hill is the place. It was wet and windy and so we could not enjoy a view of the beautiful valley. However, Golden Hill looked good in the mist.
