Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire
Salisbury has Britain's finest 13th century Gothic Cathedral boasting the tallest spire in the Kingdom.
Built between 1220 and 1258 it has over 750 years of history including the world's best preserved original Magna Carta and Europe's oldest working clock. The Cathedral is a record holder for having the largest Cathedral close, the largest Cathedral Cloisters and the largest and earliest set of Quire stalls in Britain. The Cathedral is still an active place of worship and visitor access is restricted on Sundays during services.
Guides can take you on a free tour of the Cathedral or there are self guiding leaflets in English and other languages. If you want to see the tallest spire at close hand then the Tower tour will take you up the 332 steps in easy stages, by narrow spiral staircases and interior roof walkways, to reach the base of the Spire. Not for the the faint hearted or young children!
There is a restaurant which offers a self service buffet and has a special childrens menu. There is also a shop for souvenirs.
