The cathedral close is especially beautiful with fine lawns surrounded by elegant and historic buildings. There are daily guided tours up the tower (extra payment) - not for those scared of heights but the views are magnificent. For history buffs, the cathedral has an original copy of Magna Carta on show.
Old Sarum , tel 01722 335398. Located on a hilltop north of modern Salisbury, Old Sarum is the site of the original city, showing evidence of habitation from 3000BC to 1219 when the bishop relocated Salisbury Cathedral to its current location. Until 1832 Old Sarum was a 'rotten borough', electing two members of parliament despite long periods during which there were no residents. Most of the site is free to enter, although there is a charge to enter the Inner Bailey.
Stonehenge is also definitely worth seeing. It is the ruins of a neolithic monument, and it is truly incredible that some of it still remains!
Bulford Kiwi, Canberra Drive (not numbered). Kiwis longing for home, might want to do a pilgrimage to the Bulford district, where a 130 meter high (covering a full 1.5 acres!) image of a Kiwi bird was carved in the chalk rock by New Zealand soldiers waiting to return home after the end of World War I. Free. �
