About this activity

Explore one of England's most historically rich cathedral cities on a private 2-hour walking tour led by a knowledgeable local guide. Salisbury's medieval street grid, iconic spire, and riverside setting at the confluence of three rivers make it a living museum of English heritage spanning over 800 years.

At the confluence of the rivers Avon, Nadder, and Bourne there is a city in Wiltshire, England, called Salisbury. Many of Salisbury's landmarks have great cultural significance and date back more than eight centuries into the past. Visit a UNESCO World Heritage Site as Salisbury railway station. Explore and admire the streets from the medieval era with a coalesce of old and new Sarum as well as half-timbered Tudor townhouses and Victorian villas.

Highlights

  • ✓Salisbury Cathedral and its 123-metre spire—the tallest in England
  • ✓Medieval street layout and market square largely unchanged since the 13th century
  • ✓Tudor half-timbered buildings and Victorian architecture throughout the city centre
  • ✓Riverside walks along the Avon, Nadder, and Bourne confluences
  • ✓UNESCO World Heritage Site status recognition
