Skipping down the lanes of Salisbury brings an enchanted feeling, setting you straight into a folktale. The ambience is calm, the people lovely, and the shops welcoming. If you have not already visited Salisbury, make sure to write it down on your to-do list.

The outskirts of Salisbury have a rustic feel to them, with small individual shops lining the street broken up by mysterious or alternative paths, piquing your interest. Walking any way will eventually lead you to the town centre. Once there, you will know, if the bustle of endless people does not tell you already, the (Saturday or Tuesday) market will. With an assortment of goods tackling either food or clothing or miscellaneous items. Colourful banners take their position overhead, and sales pitches done tastefully lead you almost involuntarily into your favourite shops. It is criminal not to spend a single penny in Salisbury, for there is just so much new to indulge yourself in.

Once bored, if possible, of the many shops/restaurants heading for Victoria Park is something you must do. Ideal for dog walking, taking a nice walk, or hanging out with friends. This park boasts a large space or pure vegetation. With the Southern side of the park decorated beautifully by flower beds, shrubs, trees, and formal planting. However, the Northern side of the park featuring a large children’s play area as well as a variety of sporting facilities, such as a football pitch, tennis courts, and a pavilion. This park is open all day and night, throughout the year, with limited free parking for park users and public toilets. The perfect place to spend a quaint day out.

To compliment your adventure in Salisbury, the final destination, a famous landmark – Salisbury Cathedral – is a must go. Boasting the tallest church spire since 1561 yet built in 1320. The grounds surrounding the cathedral are well-kept, holding different monuments of abstract art and perfect opportunities for a picnic. The Cathedral inside is beautiful, without spoiling too much, its Early English Gothic architecture is a sight for sore eyes. The courtyard attached is lovely to walk around too, with stone arches and mementos of lost people.

‘It was quiet and peaceful, I felt relaxed and really this was my favourite place to visit on our trip.’ Olivia Clarke explains having visited Salisbury recently.

Salisbury is a must-go place, truly beautiful in every way. Enriched with history, only you can experience first-hand.
