Salisbury Cathedral
Ideally located in the tranquil square across the road from the hotel, the Cathedral is regarded as one of the leading examples of Early English Gothic architecture. The spire, built in 1320, at 404 feet (123m), has been the tallest church spire in the United Kingdom since 1561. Visitors can take the ‘Tower Tour’, in which the interior of the hollow spire, with its ancient wooden scaffolding, can be viewed. A must see for every visitor to our beautiful town!
Stonehenge
With a history spanning 4,500 years Stonehenge has many different meanings to people today. It is a wonder of the world, a spiritual place and a source of inspiration. The Stone Circle is a masterpiece of engineering, and building it would have taken huge effort from hundreds of well-organised people using only simple tools and technologies.
