Best Things To Do & Days Out In Salisbury, Wiltshire
Get in touch with your family’s spiritual side as you enjoy all the quirky things to do in Salisbury.
Eight miles outside Salisbury is the formidable Stonehenge. Even though it’s over 5,000 years old why and how it was built remains a mystery. See tools and objects that depict everyday Neolithic life and the face of a 5,500-year old man to make your own mind up about this unique and special place.
The visual wonders don’t stop there during a Salisbury family day out. Jump back in the car and head to the centre of Salisbury to visit the Salisbury Cathedral, which is one of the most impressive medieval castles in Britain. There is 750 years of history behind its stone walls, climb the narrow stairwell to the rooftop and stand on one of four balconies overlooking the city.
Literary lovers will get a kick out of seeing Mompesson House, which was featured in the film Sense and Sensibility. It’s every bit as grand and decadent as you may expect, children can pick up guide at reception to take them round and make the most of the extensive grounds.
