Reviews
Salisbury is about a two‑hour drive from London. The town is very nice with old houses and narrow, charming streets.nnThe city lies on the route from London to Stonehenge. So you can make a little detour and stop in Salisbury, then reach Stonehenge in about 20 minutes.nnSalisbury’s main attraction is the Cathedral of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The cathedral is large, topped with a spire that has slightly tilted.nnBut perhaps the main reason for the steady stream of British tourists is one of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta — the Great Charter of Liberties from 1215 !. The document is kept here, in the cathedral.nnUnfortunately, we didn’t get to see it. We arrived early and would have had to wait for the exhibition to open.nnHowever, we did manage to catch the end of a service — we literally heard the final notes. It’s interesting to watch how parishioners gather after the service, drink tea, and chat.nnThere is a fairly large souvenir shop at the Cathedral, offering not only general English souvenirs but also specifically Salisbury‑themed items — from miniature Magna Cartas to caps featuring the cathedral and its spire.nnSo it’s a worthwhile destination. If you’re heading to Stonehenge, don’t hesitate to stop by Salisbury.nnThe town is pleasant, the cathedral is impressive, and there’s an opportunity to see a unique historical document.
We decided to do the Twilight tower tour, which cost £22, but then an online Cathedral ticket costs £11, and you get to do it all. Colin was our guide and we went up stone steps, til we were above the nave, where the Christmas tree had just been erected. We then went below the wooden supports, looked at the chiming clock, climbed more wooden stairs, up again to the highest point we could go without ladders, then walked out on the East, South and West galleries- too windy for the North door to be opened. The tour was 90 minutes, and it was fantastic.
Wonderful visit. £2 cheaper if you book online. £11 instead of £13. Spent a good hour and a half wLking round. Lots of information boards. Talk on the clock fascinating. All the cathedral guides well knowledgeable and informative. Cafe has meals and snacks, nor cheap though. Two teas and a bicci £9.50! Lots to become absorbed in. Well worth a visit. Didn't have time for tours. We parked at long stay car park £7.50 for 5 hours.
This is a outstanding Cathedral which you would expect.nWe had a guide to take us around and learned quite a lot in a short space of time. Very polite staff and eager to please.nThe Cafe is a worth a vist nice food if a little expensive.nA very relaxing space tbh and we are not religious.nAs all Cathedrals are interesting this one had a few extra bits. We spent a weekend and a couple of days / evenings here at events and just a wander definitely worth a vist.
We went to the cathedral for an organ concert and it was spectacular! The building is breathtaking, the acoustics amazing and the stewards, polite and helpful. Weather the following day was horrendous so no daytime photos but some beautiful ones of the building in all its floodlit glory.
