Salisbury

We stopped in Salisbury to visit Old Sarnum Castle and Salisbury Cathedral. Unfortunately, the heavy rain and strong winds would have made visiting the castle ruins quite miserable so we skipped that. Instead, we spent most of our time in the cathedral.


Salisbury Cathedral

We spent most of the day inside the cathedral because it was raining miserably outside. Salisbury cathedral was built in 1258, after 38 years of construction. The spire is the tallest in England, at 123 m (404 ft). It also contains one of the four surviving copies of the Magna Carta.
