The Old Sarum ground ground can be accessed freely on most days. There is a portion of the old castle ruin situated towards the back. Most of the remains of the old Castle ruin lays behind the moat and can be accessed via a wooden bridge currently undergoing some repairs. English Heritage members have free access but reservation must be made ahead of visit. Non English Heritage members can book a visit or get a ticket via the website. There is lot of grounds to cover and the view of the surrounding lowland is stunning. Overall, this is a good place to visit either alone or as part of a group. I have now lost count of the number of times I have visited. Parking costs £3 for Non English Heritage members. P:S good location to walk dogs, clear ones head and just enjoy a breath of fresh air.

A nice little ruin to visit, with even better views from the top. It's an english heritage site who do a great job preserving what's left. Nice little souvenir shop with friendly staff and knowledgeable of the surrounding areas. Also has a decent sized car park small charge if your not a member.

Old Sarum is one of the oldest place that you can visit in England. Its been existed since the neolithic period and the history is fascinating. Others, they say that there's nothing to see in the site, just ruins, old rocks and grass. Its not that though, its the history. You have to live in their time. You have to imagine what it looks like back in the day. And its just surreal. Anyway, the site has a gift shop, a coffee machine, and toilets. Parking is £3 i think, and entrance is £6.50 for adults and £3.50 for kids. The fees i think is just fair because Old Sarum is an English Heritage and they have to maintain the place and its surrounding. I reckon that this place it gonna be really nice in the summer as it has beautiful grounds for picnic, for dogs, and for family. I recommend Old Sarum for those who are into English history. I mean, even my 6 years old son enjoyed the place.

Great spot, can see for miles on a nice sunny day. Staff were very friendly and informative, went on a Friday afternoon and there were quite a few people there including groups and families but it didn’t feel busy as it’s a big open space with lots of points to explore and read about the history of the site. Picnic tables available and it’s dog friendly from what I saw, which was nice. Only slight downside was the driveway up to the car park - very narrow and luckily I didn’t encounter anyone trying to travel the opposite direction as there’s only one or two passing points and it’s a bit of a steep lane way though it isn’t too long, just go slow and be prepared to stop and back up if needed! Also had a little coffee kiosk and a small shop which had a lot of nice souvenirs from magnets to booze and historically-themed kids toys. Close to Stonehenge too so a great place to visit as part of a day out in the area.

Nice peaceful place, friendly staff, no wait, not too busy. Kind of place you can go to clear your head with amazing views of Salisbury. Nice place for little evening walks and meditation. Mostly open to the public at any time (the green area outside the castle ruins), if you will like to cross the wooden bridge to see the castle ruins, you will have to go during their opening times at a fee. Free if you have English heritage pass as it an English heritage site. Noticed there was parking fee the last time I visited during opening hours, free outside opening hours.

I took the family for the knights tournament on the weekend, great fun lots to do shows , children taking turns jousting with noodles against workers who clearly love there job , archery, and so much more. The castle was open as well we walked around the castle great to walk and the views of Salisbury are breathtaking highly recommended

Went to old Sarum. What a lovely sunny day we had. Really enjoyed our visit. Great place to take the kids. Nice little gift shop too. I do recommend being a heritage member. It is well worth it.

It was a great walk up to Old Saram. Enjoyed Victoria Gardens and a fabulous view from the top. Knowing it was built in 1092 with ruins beneath the ground thousands of years old is just breathtaking.

Great views across to the Cathedral. Very wind swept when we were there. English Heritage staff helpful. There is a car park from the main road just after the short layby by the sports ground. Only the central parts are English Heritage. Children's quiz available.

Worth a visit if only for the view, you can pay for parking and just walk around, additional fee is only to go up to the castle ruins. The staff in the shop/ticket office are lovely especisly the lady (who's name we did not get). She starts her day by litter picking from the main road up to and around the site before working on the Shop/ticket office all day and was so friendly and informative. We went back the day after and spent £230 in the shop!

Fascinating bit of history with amazing views all around. And if you come between April and October the fields of yellow buttercups are intense. The views are free, but the site costs money.

Took 2 of the grandchildren to the knights tournament. They absolutely loved it . What a great day out for all ages . Fun and educational . Well done to all the staff, knights & squires for putting on a great show. Been here before and well worth a visit just for all the history and stunning views over Salisbury.

This is a great ruin to visit with some fantastic views. The site is very well looked after, perfect if you are taking lunch or a picnic. Lots to get the children imagination going. There were plenty of gifts and treata in the shop and the staff were really friendly. You will have to pay for parking if you aren't going into the ruin but this is covered/free if you pay to get in or have an English heritage membership, you just need to give your Reg to the people in the shop. Toilets were decent.

Easy to take X4 from Salisbury center to here. I bought site tickets online. The gentleman at the gate was very nice to briefly tell us about the site history and warned us about the coming rain. We spent about 30 minutes there. Due to the rain, we did not walk around it from outside. We saw many local people walking their dogs. Ancient and Now, all join together. It is worth a stop here if you are in Salisbury.

Visited on a weekday, on a cold day so it was pretty empty. Beautiful views, but really strong winds when you step out over the edge. I was really fascinated by the stones it was built from. There is a small car park with toilets and a gift shop up in the castle. I would highly recommend visiting The Salisbury Cathedral afterwards.

Well preserved site spanning 5000 years of history. Well kept, informative, plenty of walking area, great views down to Salisbury and the cathedral. Great preservation and presentation job from English Heritage

It was exciting to enter into a world I had previously experienced on the pages of books. It's a walk into history. The landscape is beautiful and one could create a plethora of images of a time past.

Fascinating place visited on a very windy rather grey day. Very wet under foot. I do recommend coming in better weather if you can. But still interesting. The scale of the prehistoric structure is amazing. Friendly English Heritage staff, toilets and carpark.

Nice place for a walk while you go back in time & see what's left of the castle & learning about the history. If you are planning to visit this place I would definitely say there are much better places as it does cost a fair amount when travelling to multiple historical sites. If you have the English Heritage membership then do visit! Make sure you have your wellies as it can be quite muddy after the rain.

Very cold and windy in January. But worth a visit and a good walk. Knowledgeable helpfull staff. Great views. Then head down into Salisbury for lunch or dinner

A must see, never been to a castle with a moat. Although most of the castle fell, the original foundations are there. Powerful energies here

History in the living! The fact that the foundation of this place still exists about 1000 years later is absolutely incredible. The Roman empire, King Alfred and the Vikings. This place just has incredible vibes. Up at the top of the hill and has amazing views of the surrounding area.

Ancient hill fort overlooking Salisbury plain with evidence of human habitation dating back over 5000 years. Site of the original Salisbury cathedral from 1082 to 1220 and the remains of a royal castle founded by William the conqueror.

We visited here on Mother’s Day as somewhere small and easily walkable. The house is easy to find and the Cathedral Close is beautiful itself. We had a lovely greeting on entering Mompesson and although there were only 7 rooms available to view it was an unexpectedly interesting visit. The glassware was particularly fascinating - and I never thought I’d say that! - helped by explanations from the volunteer. Upstairs was more limited with the rooms roped off but the gardens outside were pretty, even in March. A great second hand bookshop too!

A must see! Right next to the cathedral, and rifleman museum. They even had a few rooms upstairs open today. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, and when they realized we didn't have prebooked tickets, they squeezed us on the last tour of the day!

Visited during the Easter weekend. It was very busy but the guides were helpful and friendly with us. The place is beautiful and very peaceful. It’s quite small though so we only spent 20-30 minutes max. But we’re NT members so it was worth visiting it.

Located in the cathedral close, you currently need to book in advance but the big advantage here is the introductory talk by the guides. As always, the guides and room stewards are well informed, approachable and willing to chat. All of the lower floor was open, along with a few rooms upstairs. The garden is quite simple and probably not at its best in early April. A very enjoyable visit.

A lovely little NT property right in the middle of Salisbury. There's not a whole lot to see and there's not loads of history to learn about as there's been a lot of people who've lived there (it was always a leasehold property owned by the cathedral until the 50s) but it's very pretty, with views from the windows and the garden over the cathedral and its spire. The staff were all very nice and happy to have a chat about the place. I liked the wonky door on the first floor, to the left at the top of the stairs - I really couldn't tell if the floor, frame or door was wonky. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else but it's worth looking for as I only just happened to notice it as I left.

A beautiful house with an interesting history. Lovely walled garden and little cafe. The volunteers are very friendly and happy to share their knowledge of the house. Recommended.

Interesting family house in the grounds of the cathedral. Not huge but has a real flavour of what it would be like to have lived there. Some very nice old English glasses. There is also a small garden to look around and a 2nd hand bookshop. And of course a cafe. Being NT it’s a little on the pricey side however you get a great guide in each room to explain its history.

Inside filled with random bits here and there which is interesting but not historically significant. Well worth a visit to the tea room. Staff are super friendly. No parking available. Closes at 4pm so be wary of time. Allow a good 1.5 hours to enjoy house and garden/tea room.

Very interesting albeit a small property and hence a short visit. Fascinating lecture about the history by the NT volunteer. Has a tea room in the garden though. Sit and relax under the shadow of the cathedral spire.

A nice little property very close to Salisbury Cathedral. Very well maintained and the staff are super friendly.

I come to this Dental Practice because I like it. The atmosphere is friendly and the practice members are efficient, Waheed did a first rate job making use of a10year old unused implant to replace an equally old temporary bridge. HGW

From start to finish a fantastic service. As a nervous patient I worry about visiting the dentist, the reception team are so knowledgeable and friendly and put you at ease straight away. Tamara and Anna provided my treatment and the level of care is incredible, in a situation I would usually feel flustered in I was calm because of them, Thankyou so much cathedral close dental practice! Lewis is an asset to you!

Tamara came highly recommended and I'm so glad I booked in with her. No pain, no trauma and two back teeth extracted seemingly in seconds ! I was in the safest pair of hands possible - thank you so much !

Receptionist welcoming. I was seen promptly by both Hygienist and Dentist, professional, friendly and efficient.

Have never had any problems, always helpful and friendly. Would not hesitate to recommend them.

The work on my tooth was difficult and it took a long time to do the root canals and clean everything which was done very professionally and although uncomfortable has so far appeared to have been successful. I am very grateful to both Dr. Glynis and his amazing assistant for their help and work.

My experience at Cathedral Close was made as pleasant as it's possible to be for such unpleasant treatment. All staff were extremely polite, efficient and professional. Thank you everyone.

I really do not like going to the dentist. My experience with Cathedral Close is changing that. They are so kind and gentle and the general feeling as one walks in is of calm. After many years of not visiting a dentist I attend regular appointments. Thank you to all the staff.

What a hidden gem. My girlfriend took me here on my birthday, and we had a fantastic time. A great collection of aircraft from over the years. The Tornado being my personal favourite. On arrival we were greeted by a lovely gentleman called David, who was our guide. He walked around with us, telling us all about various aircraft, what they did and how they flew. He also told a us few stories of his own from his years as a pilot and trainer. It was an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend this place.

Simply fantastic!! It was fun for kids to know hands-on, how complex these flying birds are (specifically in that war era). Great experience for kids to explore the tech and very wonderfully explained by guide (quite knowledge, approachable) as how these were operated in the Era when GPS was not there yet precision was still exercised!

So worth a visit....more airframes arriving friendly volunteers who are a hive of information. Kids (and big kids alike) can sit in the cockpits.... and one of the only few places in the UK that can say they have a Lancaster in their collection (cockpit section under construction).

This is an absolute must! An incredible collection of aircraft and memorabilia with such a rich history. Anyone who is remotely interested in aviation will love it here. The ability to climb and sit in some of the cockpits made me feel like a kid in a candy shop. Very few places will let you be as hands on as this. The absolute best part of this museum is the staff, they’re so knowledgeable and enthusiastic in sharing, that it totally made the experience. We expected this to be a short visit and stayed for a few hours, learning and exploring. Loved it.

First visit here, which coincided with a model show held by the IPMS (International plastic modellers society) Entrance fee was just the regular price for entry to the aviation collection. I had no issues parking A great collection of aircraft, walking around and under them! (..the wings and nose cones!) Lots of cockpits that you can sit in! watch your step though! (Harrier, Hawker Hunter, Jaguar, Tornado to name a few!) Staff were very friendly, happy to answer any questions. In the 2nd hanger, a large display about the Royal flying corps, with artifacts, documents, and models of the aircraft flown. The model show was excellent (if it's your thing!) brilliantly made kits and trade stands awaiting to empty your bank account!!! A great museum, definitely 'hands on' Definitely recommend this, if you've an interest in aviation...for the price, you can't go wrong!

What a great historical gem to be found at Old Sarum. My kids loved it and enjoyed getting into all the cockpits. The guides were so friendly and knowledgeable - thanks for a great day.

Highly recommend this museum especially for children. All the curators are approachable friendly and knowledgeable. What is refreshing about this museum unlike others is that instead of shouting at children not to touch the exhibits they actively encourage them to sit in the aircraft and they take time to impart their knowledge to the children. A large range of aviation history is exhibited in the original WW1 RFC Hangars containing all sorts of well presented and interesting artifacts. Well worth the visit cannot recommend highly enough. The parachute club has a cafe for refreshments and on the way out alas to late there is a microbrewery also offering food and refreshments, I must go back!

This is a must visit museum , as it has so much local history documented here and a collection of 1st world war memorabillia that has to be seen. Plenty of aircraft to see and cockpits to climb into. Great stuff.

Hidden gem. Full of plenty of aircraft with the vast majority free to climb in and out of. 2 children (5&8) had a great time as well. The staff are all so friendly and knowledgeable giving stories of all the aircraft. We spent 4 hours and there was more than enough to keep us entertained.

We visited after going to Stonehenge, and we were gratefully able to get in for a quick look just as they were closing up. Being able to see the aircraft up close and sit inside the cockpits while listening to the fascinating information of the staff here. Absolutely 100% recommend for any aviation enthusiast!!

An excellent little museum with some really impressive exhibits which have been restored or replicated. The volunteer guides are very knowledgable and you are actively encouraged to climb into the cockpits of many of the exhibits. The lady in the shop was super friendly and made us all feel really welcome.

Amazing place. Suitable for kids as well as adults. There are lots of different types of aircraft to see up close and most of them you can climb into the cockpits of! Just be careful as some are a tight squeeze! You are able and welcome to touch pretty much everything. A lot of the cockpit controls are still movable such as switches, pedals, control wheels and levers. It’s incredible to witness the history that the aircrafts represent. There is also a monitor and mouse with Flight Radar software on so you can sit down and enjoy tracking live real-life flights in real-time, including a satellite view of the surrounding area courtesy of Bing maps. I recommend the Flightradar24 app for your phone if you enjoy. There is a gift shop upon entry. For £10.50 (adult) this place is totally worth a visit if you like aviation

Fantastic collection of planes and cockpits stored in 2 hangers at Old Sarum Airfield. Many of these you can sit in and experience a pilots view. It makes you appreciate how skilled they are. There are also a couple of helicopters and many exhibits of uniforms, engines, missiles and all things associated with life at an airfield. There is also an amazing collection of memorabilia dedicated to the Royal Flying Corps and a shop for souvenirs. With helpful volunteers on hand to answer any questions it was a great way to spend 3 to 4 hours.

Never heard of this museum before and stopped off on the way down to the tank museum. Not sure what to expect and outside gave few clues but... So, so much crammed into 2 large hangers. Spent over 2hrs looking around and sitting in a good variety of cockpits. Could have spent longer. Highly recommended if you have an interest in planes.

Wow! I had the most surprising and fascinating visit to the Aviation Collection today. The collection is housed in two large aircraft hangers full of historical aircraft. There are friendly and knowledgeable volunteers who are happy to explain in further detail, features of each of the aircraft. One of the exciting parts of the visit is that you are allowed to sit in the flight decks of the aircraft and so I suggest shoes and clothing suitable for climbing up and into fighter and bomber aircraft. The opportunity to sit in the seat that pilots have fought battles in is sobering, exciting and tickles the curiosity. There is also a collection of memorabilia from the wars including aviation uniforms. Follow the signs behind the hangers to the museum and there is a free carpark alongside the airfield. I thought I would 'pop in' to the museum for an hour but left 2.5hrs later. Well worth a visit!

What a wonderful hidden gem of a place this is! We have just spent a brilliant afternoon here exploring the different planes and chatting to the experienced, knowledgeable and friendly guides. Such an experience to actually be able to sit in the cockpits. Highly recommended 😃

Came here for an AGM but had a bit of time to look around as well. What was lovely was the interactive, hands on approach here. You are allowed to touch, climb into & generally enjoy the aircraft in a way that is usually forbidden! It made my day to sit in the cockpit of a Chipmunk, brought back all of the memories from when I was an air cadet & did air experience flights in the same type of aeroplane. Will need to get back for more. Staff were brilliant & knowledgeable as well. Many thanks 💕

Excellent Museum, small but very well organised and with lots of information on their exhibits. The staff are also very knowledgeable and very generous with their time. Well worth a visit, & especially if you like sitting in cockpits.

Good amount of information, some part of the area has modern design but parts of it are quite old and an odd odour. Happy with the price as paid with student and NHS discount. Interesting gift shop too.

If you like smaller and more intimate museums with strong links to the area you are visiting, this museum is perfect for you. We spent a good couple of hours here and I know my brother could have spent more.

Amazing exhibition highlighting the globally-significant finds in the Wessex area (Stonehenge included). The Amesbury Archer can be found here. The museum staff were very friendly and helpful. The building is itself very special.

Great museum with over 2000 items displayed for the public. It is very modern and well organised. The staff is very friendly and will provide a lot of useful information. The museum is just across the Christchurch Cathedral. Therefore, it will be a pity not to visit this beautiful place.

The people were so super nice, especially to our boy! He loved the activities and engaged with them for ages, enabling us to enjoy the museum for a long period of time. Thank you! At times, the activities didn't align clearly with the content on the displays - something small to work on for future. We will be back!

This museum is truly awe-inspiring with its vast array of exhibits. It is home to some of the world's most ancient artifacts. The volunteers, namely Nigel and Rob, were well-informed and offered comprehensive insights into the collections. It is highly recommended to visit this museum following your trip to the cathedral.

Great displays on several levels in a beautiful old building. Very nice shop and cafe with optional outdoor seating. Staff are very helpful. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee on Sunday morning lovely surroundings overlooking cathedral and crisp blue sky, trees in full autumn colours,

Full of history and interesting things this museum! I like it

Excellent museum with plenty to look at. I have to say this is one of the best museums we have been to (we go to a lot). Its so clean and the staff are really friendly. We couldn't see it all because they was having work done but will be back later in the year to see the rest of it.

Although part of the museum was closed for refurbishment, the entry price reflected this. The archaeological area was what we wanted to see and was a worthwhile experience, especially the Stonehenge area. Our only down point was that we are interested in King Alfred and the period of history around the 9th 10th century, and there is only a small amount of artefacts and little related to Alfred.

Salisbury museum is an amazing place, and so interesting. The history of the surrounding area and all the finds. Then the draws and doors to open with more finds in, so much to look at you have to keep going back. I was like a kid in a sweet shop. Can't wait till we come back again. And all the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, it's an absolute must to visit

I am delighted to share my positive experience at Salisbury Museum! As the mother of a wheelchair-using teenager, I was thrilled with the excellent accessibility they offered. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our visit was enjoyable and comfortable. My child learned so much about history and archaeology during our time there, thanks to the interactive exhibits and engaging presentations. We were truly impressed by the museum's dedication to inclusivity and the warm and welcoming atmosphere they provided for all visitors. Highly recommend!

A wonderful museum, even though some galleries were closed for refurbishment when I visited. Highlights included superb displays of archaeological ceramics and wonderfully knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteers in the galleries. Look forward to visiting again when the refurbishments are completed.

I went to see the Sir Terry Pratchett exhibition and loved every moment of it. It is an absolute MUST for all Terry fans. It was beautiful, witty and embracing. I wanted to see the rest of the museum but due to my disabilities and the fact that I spent over 3 hours just gazing and regazing at all the Terry Pratchett gems that we wouldn't fit it all in. The staff are fabulous and I am looking forward to going back to see the rest of the museum. This is the nicest museum, with the nicest people, that I have ever been to.

Prett amazing museum. Staff are very knowledgable and helpful. Art and fashion exhibit is pretty cool. Pottery and ceramic area is nice and has a nice view of the Salisbury cathedral. Cafe was prebook only, but the food and drinks looked and sounded delightful.

Incredible space for picnics with young children! We visited Wilton House gardens over the jubilee bank holiday for a picnic and to let our kids burn off some excess energy. At £21 (June 2022) for a family ticket (gardens) Wilton House isn't free, but was in our opinion well worth the price of admission. There's a lovely looking Café (not sampled) and some great ice cream from Marshfield Farm; but what was really excellent for us was the size and quality of the adventure playground! Big in scale and with two slides that both our seven and nine year old said were 'epic' the playground has great climbing frames, zip lines, trampolines, swings, slides, swing boats, rope, and 'wobbly' bridges. There was also an area specifically for 1-5 years which was on a smaller scale but looked great. Well tended extensive lawns dropping down to the river Wylie provided space for what seemed like an unlimited number of picnics and everything was clean and tidy. We saw scratch rounders, football, and cricket in progress and there were a few picnic tables and benches too. The house looked lovely and provided a great backdrop but memories of being dragged around properties with my parents aged seven meant we didn't visit. It does coat considerably more too, but I'd have probably visited if our children were older or if we were visiting without them. A large and well stocked gift shop provides the entry and exit, but the staff were lovely and the products on sale were not aimed at little ones, and seemed to be tasteful rather than disposable. In any event the staff here were friendly and really helpful. A reasonable amount of parking too all on hard standing. For a picnic though, Wilton House gardens really does deliver.

"Visiting Wilton House and Gardens was an absolute delight! The Chinese garden was a serene oasis, offering a unique cultural experience amidst the lush greenery. Walking through the gardens, along the riverbank, was truly therapeutic, surrounded by vibrant flowers and picturesque landscapes. A must-visit destination for anyone seeking tranquility and natural beauty!"

Fantastic day out for the whole family, beautiful gardens amazing adventure playground (for adults too!). This is a wonderful place for the whole family and is a good price and has 100x value, we have come for years and will continue to do so! Thankyou for keeping this as beautiful as i remember for many many years.

Fantastic guided tour of the house. The guide was super informative and engaged well with the kids. Lots grand sculptures and an impressive art collection to look at. Also had a huge adventure park in the gardens. Historic house members enter free. Has a big car park free of charge.

Wilton House is a place that I would recommend to any family. The grounds are expansive and the adventure playground is complete with everything that kids could dream of. The cafe has an amazing selection of food and drink, great for adults and kids alike, and the art collection makes Wilton House a great field trip destination.

Please book in advance, they only do the guided tour of the house, staff is very helpful tickets are slightly expensive, house has nice collection of paintings and different other artifacts. The garden huge and is beautiful, there is a dedicated children play area as well.

Walk for wards was hosted at this venue! Excellent venue with fantastic gardens and views. The play park is amazing and well suited for all ages and would recommend.

A beautiful house with a fascinating history and wonderful art collection. Fantastic cafe, excellent guided tours, lovely grounds. Wilton has the lot. We did a walk in because we were first to arrive. The house tours were sold out within an hour, so I'd book ahead. Free for Historic House members. Highly recommended

This is an amazing house and definitely worth a visit! There is so much art inside (sculptures, paintings, furniture, books, decor, etc.) that we were overwhelmed by the sheer decadence of the home! The grounds are lovely as well with a really fun play park!

Really enjoyed Wilton House. Well kept gardens covering numerous acres with woodland and flowing streams. No wonder royalty have stayed here back in history. Did the house tour with two under four! Not advised - very interesting for me, way too slow for them. That said the cars to see and a very adventurous play area, with dedicated space for under 5's more than made up for it. The sunshine always helps too!

We were looking forward to wandering around the house, haven't been there for years. So very disappointed that you have to take a guided tour and not go on your own. And what you had to pay for a ticket to only get an hour. Garden was nice to wander through, but again expensive

Amazing scenery, quite fascinating tour of the castle inside plus the smaller exhibiton of photographs before you enter. The grounds are well kept and definitely worth a visit. I loved it!

Rather expensive to get in to enter the house and gardens. Nearby didn't go in. But very glad we did. Amazing house (although you're not allowed to take photos inside) and amazing gardens with children's adventure playground!

Beautiful medieval church with gorgeous doom painting.

The Parish Church of St. Thomas and St Edmund has the largest Doom Screen in the United Kingdom. These medieval works of art were intended to remind the congregation of the judgement that would befall them when the end came. Painted around 1470, it was covered with lime whitewash during the Reformation and not seen again until 1819. Following its most recent restoration in 2019 it is back to its medieval, vibrant glory. On Saturday and Tuesday mornings there is an informal cafe serving hot drinks, cakes and chrese scones at very reasonable prices.

While not at the scale of the nearby cathedral, St. Thomas's Church is still well worth the 10 minute walk from the former. It's a great space, with brilliant windows and - as with many churches - has a lot of historical details. Plus, it has the definite advantage of being less visited by Russian assassins than the cathedral!

Personally I think church is far superior to the cathedral and recommend donating money to this church rather than paying £11 entrance to the cathedral. The church is quiet and very special, with the wall art, especially the painting of Doom. Well worth a visit. Its an amazing historic building, run by volunteers who are lovely.

Pop in here on Saturday. Was a beautiful church but it was a joy to see it also being used as coffee gathering place. It had such a happy vibe. And to Kelvin the vicar....you were a joy to meet. From Jo in Glastonbury

The christmas tree festival was what first enticed us in but this church is stunning. Well worth a visit such a stunning little church sat in the shadows of its famous neighbour.

This is the city church of Salisbury, same foundation date as the Cathedral but smaller and cosy. The doom painting is magnificent and the ceiling superb. Recently refurbished with new furniture that is very well designed. The churchyard can be accessed via an alleyway off Silver St. and is a warm and quiet spot to drink your coffee or sandwiches on a sunny afternoon. The church has a full peal of bells and quarterjacks best experienced from a seat in the churchyard.

This historic church may be overlooked with cathedral so prominent though it is older. It was built for cathedral builders in 13th century and is still a parish church. The doom painting over chancel arch a striking attraction with its heaven and hell depictions on judgement day. There to influence people who couldn't read. The coat of arms of Elizabeth 1 with Tudor dragon displayed and, in a side chapel, monuments to wealthy merchants with numerous children. Interesting detail in nave pillar capitals. The churchyard, accessed from the street, has headstones and Tudor quarterjacks on the tower striking the quarter hours.

Truly beautiful experience seeing all those gorgeous trees. Such a lot of hard work had gone into making the trees look so festive. We'll done to all those who had participated.

We were there for the Christmas concert, the kids really enjoyed it. The musicians were amazing. Extra praise to the young man singing Walking in the Air he was truly amazing!

Hi, I visited last year this time in one evening and was an amazing experience, very festive and also we listened the brass band singing many carols, I wonder if this year it would be something similar?!

A lovely church that seems to be always bypassed due to the Cathedral drawing away visitors. First started in 1219 and made of wood for the use by the builders of the cathedral, a stone structure was built in 1226. Consequent rebuilds and additions notably in 13th, 15th and 16th centuries provides the church you see today. Inside there are memorials to the Eyre family including Jane Eyre who died in 1695 likely the namesake for Charlotte Bronte's character of the same name. There are other memorials but I liked the one of a carving of a memorial done by the 'By his own hand' of Humphrey Beckham in 1671. Worth a visit!

Interesting house full of Ted Heath's life. Good tour with extremely knowledgeable guide.

Former Prime Minister Ted Heath's house. Fascinating personal items, lovely gardens and very good guides. Highly recommend.

This beautiful house is almost the same as it was when Sir Edward Heath passed. There's a host of wonderful paintings and an amazing mural on the walls of staircase. The beautiful landscaped gardens reach down to the river. I would highly recommend a visit.

We had a lovely time visiting this charming and idiosyncratic house. A real insight into Edward Heath's cultured life despite relatively humble beginnings- his father was a carpenter and mother was a lady in waiting. The volunteer staff were a gem! So personable, relaxed and ready with information. A tranquil and interesting afternoon.

Very enjoyable visit and very knowledgeable guides. We will be back as we didn't manage to read all the information and of course for another wander in that beautiful garden!

The last owner of Arundells was Sir Edward Heath. He lived here, and all of his collections (arts, books, personal things) are in the original place, as he used it. It was really interesting, everyone in the house was really knowledgeable about him and his life. Garden is just simple amazing. Worth to visit!

The only home owned by Ted Heath. He lived at Arundells for 20 years until he died. A keen sailor and musician and collector of Japanese Art, the home reflects his taste. Even if you're not a fan of his politics, still a fascinating insight

Absolutely fascinating house with wonderful volunteers. Steeped in history and as Ted Heath left it full of his possessions including paintings, photos, books, his piano and gifts from all the dignitaries that he met. The garden is beautiful. It was a privilege being able to visit this house and gardens.

This is a really enjoyable visit. The thing that we noticed is that it isn't like a national trust property with items and artifacts from lots of different periods, this was Edward Heath's home, unchanged since he lived there. As such it is definitely a home with so many interesting things to look at. The guides were informative and helpful and the garden fabulous. A lovely afternoon.

One of the two visits you should not miss when in Salisbury (the other being the room where the Magna Carta is kept). A beautiful house full of history and art. All rooms have guides, some of them very knowledgeable. If you are keen in British politics or art, or simply like nice old houses with great views, I can’t recommend this visit enough.

Really worth a visit. You see exactly how the house was lived in all furniture etc was as left. The items and photos on show were really interesting. The gardens were a riot of colour. The staff were informative, friendly and welcoming. Seeing how someone lived who I remembered from not too long ago made the visit well worth while. Excellent value for money.

Wonderful evening spent at Arundells, watched local young people perform after one to one piano lessons on the beautiful Steinway Piano in the music room. Afterwards drinks and buffet in the amazing gardens . Truly a jewel in Salisbury’s crown ! A must visit .

Really lovely house museum of Edward Heath, former PM. Much better than I thought it was going to be, room guides and staff were super knowledgeable. The house felt warm and inviting, just like a lived in home. The garden is lovely and looks out onto the confluence of the Nadder and Avon rivers. Ground floor and garden accessible by wheelchair. Toilet available.

Really interesting - especially the paintings, photos and other collections. Lovely house left just as it was on Heath's death. There is also an interesting exhibition on the Ugandan Asian refugee crisis of 1972. Guides were lovely. Worth a visit for anyone, regardless of personal politics!

Salisbury Playhouse is one of my favourite theatres. It is so welcoming. There are no pillars so good sightlines wherever you sit. Ticket prices are reasonable. The foyer offers a good cafe space for pre theatre drinks or cake. Toilets are on the ground floor. There is a small lift. Great range of shows at good prices.

Salisbury playhouse has put on another incredible show. I love the intimacy of the theatre. I was in Row K & had a wonderful unrestricted view of the stage, due to the raised seating. Parking in the multistorey is free after 6pm & only a few minutes walk from the theatre.

This a well designed theatre: at all price points, comfortable seats give you a good view of the stage. Parking is conveniently close and plentiful (and free unless you go to a matinee)

Fantastic atmosphere, and was such a brilliant performance, my children and I loved it.

First visit to the playhouse. The playhouse itself is a great venue. It's well designed with good rake so that everyone gets a good view of the stage. The hound of the Baskerville's was also excellent!

Salisbury Playhouse has a great family friendly panto every Christmas which I would recommend.

Loved it. Great atmosphere, excellent performance

Saw a very funny comedy called Jeeves and Wooster.Every thing was perfect.Although I don't drive,we always travel up from Poole as The Salisbury Playhouse is so good.

We went to see Jeeves and wooster at the Salisbury Playhouse. Three of are family to see this show ageing from eighteen to sixty one years old. We thoroughly enjoyed the show. The actors were surperb and the scenery set off the art deco period well. One of are party is in a wheelchair and the staff when out of their way to help him. There is still time to see the show yourself so go.

Just watched Cinderella with my son's whole school. Everyone loved it. I've never seen a whole theatre of children where every single person is laughing and getting involved. Definitely not just for kids. Cast and musicians were brilliant and the Playhouse staff, as always, were friendly and so helpful and patient despite having 2 other primary schools to look after too, plus everyone else. So lucky to have this venue in our beautiful city.

Burlesque Show last night was BRILLIANT well done to all

Salisbury Playhouse is a great arts venue, with two theatre spaces. The main auditorium is comfortable, accessable and every seat has an unobstructed view. It can be configured as a theatre in the round too, (and was for a production of an Alan Ayckbourn play I saw there). The public areas are pleasant, and getting served at the bar is easy. There are a wide variety of high quality plays, films and comedians/shows throughout the year. I last visited on the penultimate night of the pantomime, and every seat was filled, despite a 6 week run. Parking is 100m away, and free from 6pm if you are visiting an evening show.

Went to see Cinderella Panto with our primary school this morning. What a brilliant panto, every adult and child in the theatre thoroughly enjoyed the dancing, singing, laughs and magic. Amazing team from organising and booking, to main production and band. Would absalutely recommend for festive fun and lots of giggles.

Lovely theatre , easy parking

Going to such an iconic landmark on a long weekend, in the middle of the school holidays isn’t for the faint-hearted. But we were determined to give it a shot, having been turned away from the Roman Baths in Bath because they were too busy! Yes, there massive crowds, but still ample parking. The shuttle bus from visitors’ centre to the stones was efficient, and we didn’t have to wait long. I had heard a lot of complaints that you have to admire from a distance, but it’s a great idea!!! From a heritage point of view, people shouldn’t be allowed to climb over the stones. But from a tourist point of view it’s fantastic! If you want to take some photos it is so easy to do so without a heap of other tourists in the way. I loved it! As always, it asks more questions than it answers! The gift shop was a pleasant surprise. There is a lot of the usual cheap and cheerful stuff, but also some more special mementos. None of which were ridiculous it expensive.

A take back to 5000 years. A must watch place in UK.. World heritage site. A pleasant view and travel back to history. If you are an English heritage or National trust member, access to this place is free. Start from the exhibition centre to know about the history and you can take the free bus from the exhibition centre to the stones. I personally loved the experience. If you are interested in the history, this is a fantastic experience for you.

What can you say other than this is an absolutely breathtaking site. Upon arrival there are nice facilities to grab lunch and use the restroom. That is a nice perk when you're traveling with small children like we were.

We booked a half day tour with Day Tours London that included a ride in an AC bus from London to Stonehenge and back. 100% recommend this UNESCO world heritage site. It's been on my bucket list for a decade and finally got to see it up close. Best to go reach early around 9am and be one of the first ones at the site if you want to take pictures. It starts getting crowded very quickly. There's a car and coach parking near the visitor's centre and then their own shuttle bus takes you to the Stonehenge site. About a 5 min ride from the visitor's centre to Stonehenge. You can check out the visitor's centre and exhibition later on your way back. There's also an a self guided audio tour through their app. It's quite informative. The stones themselves are a definite marvel to look at. The landscape is beautiful. Totally worth the ride and cost. Some cool souvenirs in the tourist center, but the cost can be prohibitive. The exhibition is about Stonehenge and fills in some more historical details about the people that built the Stonehenge and what it may have looked like and how it evolved over the past five thousand years. We were also lucky to catch a Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson enactment right outside the visitor's center by actors from Time Will Tell acting company. Brilliant performance about the mystery of the Stonehenge!

Great bit of history to visit, the walk from the visitor centre is a nice easy saunter down a straight road for 20 minutes. No need to pay for tickets to see it, but if you buy the tickets you can get closer and take the bus there - I didn't buy the ticket. Possibly needs better signposting for the fact you can actually walk straight through without buying anything.

The visitor centre was lovely. All the staff were nice. And it was good that you could take a bus up to the stones. I’d definitely recommend buying tickets beforehand though. Cheaper if you buy online and you don’t have to wait in line that long. Also make sure you scroll down to the last bit of the email and download the app, it comes with a guided audio tour. Somehow we were the only people doing that however. It would be nice if they advertised that a little more on site. And I have to say some signs which direction you’re supposed to walk would have been helpful. About 80% of the people walked around the wrong way. Since a majority of the world is used to driving on the right side, you also get used to everything else being the right way around and not the left. Coming early is also recommended, if you want pictures without other tourist on them. We even saw Gertrude! She’s a great bustard that comes for a few weeks every year to hang around the stones and then goes back to France.

Most of the time Stonehenge is too crowded to fully enjoy the site, and it was the same last time I took my family there. I'm glad that this time my bf invited me for a ride around the facilities, in the evening, where the traffic is much calmer. We could admire this unique stone formation from a distance, while also enjoying some of the gravel byways nearby ☺️

A tip in advance. Come after 2 p.m., then the rush of visitors decreases significantly. When we came back around 3 p.m., we didn't even have to queue for the shuttle, and the ticket counters were empty. So, now to the topic. There is something mystical about it. It is without a doubt something special. I said many years ago that I had to see Stonehenge, and I have never regretted it. Thank goodness we have Historical Heritage Membership. Firstly, the car park doesn't cost a fee, the entrance is free and you don't have to queue for hours at the ticket office. The single entrances are really expensive. Nevertheless, you can't miss such an important site. There are also many other things to discover around the visitor centre. Currently, in July 2022, there is a small excavation site for children.

It's actually pretty cool. Yes, there are a lot of tourists and the entry fee seems very steep (26 GBP!) and apart from on the Summer Solstice, you can't get very close, but I still enjoyed the visit.

Awe inspiring monument to visit, the stones are spectacular. You just have tons of other tourists to deal with, walking up there instead of the bus is a good way to go. The inevitable souvenir shop selling tacky 'Neolithic' things does cheapen the experience.

Mesmerising place to visit. I was awestruck even though I’ve seen plenty of other stone circles around in UK. The stone sizes are massive. You are not allowed to go into the circle. There is a rope which keeps the visitors a good distance away from the stones and the circle for good reasons. Would definitely recommend and might visit again.

A must visit place in the UK. Most famous tourist attraction and the heritage site in England. Entry is free for the English heritage members. Others can buy their tickets at the entrance counters. The site is little far from the entrance counters. They are providing a bus service to go to the stones area. It is included in the entry fee. Parking is available and it is free for everyone. Toilets and the restaurant are at the entrance. No washrooms in the site. Even you can walk without using the buses. It’s like 10-15 minutes walk. Due to the wind it’s bit cold at anytime, so make sure you have jackets on your hands. Nice environment. But since it is the most iconic place it is always crowded. You can buy tickets online and it will save your time as no need to wait in the queues to get tickets.

We went there on a Sunday after seeing Bath. We got the tickets from their website on the same morning that included bus trip till the stones as well as some places in Salisbury as well. It was a pleasant journey and there was no wait time when we reached around 12 PM. It was very peaceful even though there were many tourists.

Great time spent. We went during February half term and there were activities for the children to try. My children really enjoyed these. Good quality food served in the cafe. My son really enjoyed the shuttle bus, these were very frequent. Was not so busy we could not get an uninterrupted photo of the stones.

Experiencing Stonehenge at sunrise is truly enchanting, as the ancient stones bask in the gentle glow of dawn, casting a spell of mystery and wonder. Choosing the free path, rather than the paid one, offers a serene journey, away from the hustle and bustle, allowing for a deeper, more personal connection with this historic monument and its natural surroundings.

A visit to Stonehenge is truly marvelous. Finally seeing it in person is a memorable experience. Despite the crowds on a long weekend, everything is impressively well managed. The clean toilets and the cafeteria offering tasty warm quick bites, soups, and hot drinks add to the comfort. With ample seating areas, it's a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The shuttle ride to the stones is really amazing specially for those who can’t walk. Else it’s a 30 mins walk one way to stones from the parking lot. We booked a day tour from get your guide to avoid hassle, which has ticket included. Recommend booking tickets in advance if visiting on your own due to long queues. Overall, I highly recommend visiting; it's a fantastic experience.

We arrived at 7pm, and parked down a gravel track just off the main road and walked up to the stones on the public footpath. Lovely views at sunset, had a chat with the security guard on duty, family photos taken and a hasty retreat to the car from the bitterly cold wind.

We arrived on a coach bus(coming from our cruise) as Stonehenge was opening. There was no traffic going there and barely anyone in the parking lots. The facilities were beautiful and blended well into the landscape. Arriving at opening on a weekday, the ticket line had no more than 10 groups waiting. The cafe was a wonderful surprise with great food and coffee options. The gift shop has a great selection of all things Stonehenge. You can either walk to Stonehenge or take the bus from the ticket center. Super quick and easy ride. We arrived and there was a ton of opportunity to take a picture without a lot of people around. We did see cars parked along a road and you can walk the dirt path, but you won’t be able to get as close or read any of the information provided as you walk around. You can also see the Stonehenge from the road. There was a lot of traffic when we were leaving around 12pm. Overall, it was a great experience. I recommend going at opening and leaving before the crowds start.

This is definitely a tourist destination and they want to make sure they are capturing all the visitors they can. They create the parking lot and visitor center a bus ride away from the actual monument. You can walk, which is about 20 minutes and is recommended on a nice day. Enjoyed the videos in tourist center. Glad it was part of National Trust. Recommend getting the pass if you are in the UK for any length of time. Worth the investment.

This has been a lifetime in the waiting. This visit ranks up there amount the best. I went to the Great Pyramids two years ago and now Stonehenge. I was surprised how far you had to travel to get there. It was raining off and on but it did ruin the experience. Even if you don't like history please if you are in the United Kingdom travel to this amazing wonder. There is so much to see and do here. It is not just a pile of rocks. It is our past and our present and our future all rolled in to one experience. England is a beautiful country and should not be missed.

arrived at Stonehenge via a tour with Evan Evans tour service. we arrived about 10 am which is a great time. later the crowds are outrageous. your dropped of in the coach lot. then a few minute walk to the shuttle stop waiting time was about 15 minutes. the buses are cramed full, so if you are assistance required make the loader aware so you can get a seat. then a 20 minute ride to the site. upon arrival you'll be amazed at the history and mystical lore of the circle. although many theories are available here. I'm not convinced anyone really knows the true purpose of this site. awesome photo opportunity. had a limited time, so we made our way back. The shuttle waiting time was considerably longer so plan accordingly. we arrived back at the gift shop and canteen grabbed some knickknacks and a drink. then back to the coach. excellent site perfect place for the entire family.

Great history behind Stonehenge and is definitely worth the hype and popularity. You will need to buy a ticket or the membership which is the English Heritage yearly pass to get up and close to the monument. There are 2 ways of getting to Stonehenge from the ticket building/carpark. 1. Take the bus which is included with the ticket. 2. You can walk there in about 20mins. We took the 20min walk there and took the bus back. There are a couple of things to do after you have seen Stonehenge, back at the ticket area. Walk around and see the possible houses the worker lived in when they were constructing Stonehenge. You can also visit the Stonehenge exhibition, filled with it’s history. Make sure to check the opening and closing times before heading out. Waterproof shoes would be good for a wet day and a thick coat. There are footpaths, so it doesn’t get too muddy at all. Entry to Stonehenge closes at 3pm although the place closes at 5pm. We visited in December at around 2:30 and it was perfect for sunset photos!!

We had a majestic journey My recent visit to Stonehenge was nothing short of awe-inspiring. As I approached the ancient monument, the sheer magnitude and mystery of the standing stones left me captivated. The atmosphere was charged with a sense of history, and the well-preserved site offered a glimpse into the ingenuity of our ancestors. The visitor center provided a comprehensive introduction to Stonehenge's significance, combining informative exhibits with cutting-edge technology. The audio guide was a valuable companion, offering detailed insights into the history, construction, and possible purposes of this iconic landmark. Walking around the stone circle, I marveled at the precision with which these massive stones were arranged, pondering the age-old questions that surround Stonehenge's origins. The preservation efforts and the ability to get up close to the stones added to the overall experience, allowing for a personal connection with this archaeological wonder. The surrounding landscape, with its vast plains and distant horizons, enhanced the magical aura of Stonehenge. Visiting during different times of the day offered unique perspectives, each casting a different spell on the ancient site. In conclusion, Stonehenge is a must-visit for history enthusiasts, offering a profound journey through time in a setting that resonates with mystery and grandeur. My visit was an unforgettable exploration of a timeless masterpiece, leaving me with a deep appreciation for the marvels of human achievement. B Thanks

This was a unique experience, we had to walk up to the site or take a bus provided by the facilities there..endless land that was scenic. The stones are magnificent to behold. Persons were at a safe distance and it had a good influx of persons for the summer. The cafeteria had a variety of things to choose from and it's a great outing

Much better than I thought it would be. Had an aura about the site. You can either take the bus to the stones, or walk. Walking takes about 30 mins and you have great views of the surrounding land or the bus which takes a couple of minutes. Good cafe and facilities in the visitor centre. I went at 1400 on a Saturday and it was very busy. Buy tickets in advance if you can, it saves you so much time in queues.

We loved visiting Stonehenge, first time for my child and he loved it. Especially the village and example stone to pull. We were also lucky enough to take part in the Lego activity, which was very fun and loved seeing the finished thing on social media after. The shuttle bus was a great idea for people who can't walk that far. We will probably book again for the special time going in and up to the rocks.

Visited this historical landmark recently, and what an experience it was. The ambiance takes you back in time, making you feel a part of its rich and intriguing history. The stone structures are impressive, with their size and how they are careful organized. The surrounding greenery adds a layer of peace to the whole place. Despite the crowd, the information provided was detailed and helpful. Perfect place for history buffs and nature lovers. The view at sunrise is especially breath-taking.

Love the view! Well at the end of the day yeah it’s a bunch of rocks but the history behind and around it is quite fascinating. They have a visitor center with a museum, cafe and a souvenir shop as well. It’s a whole experience! They have Shuttle buses from the visitor center to the location of the Stonehenge which is included in the entrance ticket. If you’re like me, your experience will depend on the weather, so try your best to make sure to visit there on a sunny day!

I visited 12/29/23: A must place to visit! History before your eyes! It’s fascinating to see how people lived back then! And the engineering they did to place those stones is amazing! If you do plan on going, plan on driving about two hours- if you’re coming from London. Once there, you will see the ticket office. Then you will proceed to their museum. They have a replica of a village they lived in (Very Impressive). Please keep in mind, the stones are far from the visiting center but they do provide buses or if you like you can walk their trail, so please wear good shoes. You can’t touch the stones, it’s been roped off so don’t plan on it. I hear that you can do a private tour that will allow you to walk around the stones but I didn’t see it. They do have a cafeteria that serves good food and snacks and they also have restroom facilities. If you are still undecided— the stones are sinking so you may never get a second chance to see them— go and check them out!

Thanks to English Heritage we got in for free but felt the entrance fee to be great value as so much history to see with plenty of information We caught the courtesy bus to the site as a long walk. Buses were running non stop so no waiting time. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there

If you can walk to the stones instead of taking the bus, I recommend it. It's a nice walk, and on the way back you can go through the area nearby to see ancient burial mounds.

Lovely place full of culture and history. Do not get disappointed is a long trip for a short stay at the grounds. This place only has Stonehenge and a side museum. Is very difficult to reach by local transport. Better if you drive or take a tour. They have a restaurant, coffee shop, souvenir shop, you can’t drive to the stones you must take the local bus however you can walk 30 mins approximately. Is better but tickets in advance

Definitely worth the trip. There's something about visiting something so mysterious that has stood the test of time, yet we still don't know what it is or what it was used for. Great energy here.

What a nice day exploring ancient England . The ticket is quite pricey but we enjoyed the visit and took lots of lovely pictures. The museum is certainly a must visit as it provides valuable information about the history of the magical place . Avoid the gifts shops is very expensive

Great setting, lovely course and good facilities. Staff from the carpark through to the course itself couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. Thanks for a wonderful afternoon and we look forward to next year's racing.

Lovely afternoon and evening spent at Salisbury Racecourse, the good weather helped and staff were very friendly. The facilities are great with plenty of toilets, food outlets, bars and more. Though beware an ice cream will set you back over £5, so take plenty of funds!

I had a fantastic experience at the Racecourse, few food tracks, a lot of people, there are bars as well, better chosing the mobile bars, cheaper and less queue. There is the option of bringing food and chairs from home as well (it is a specific area), car park is huge and free. When the races were over, a dj started to play, it has been a fantastic experience

Fabulous Day at Salisbury Races, group of 52 attended and we were fortunate to get seating outside near the grandstand next to the on course bookies in the beautiful sunshine. It was very busy in all grandstands and enclosures as well as paddock & parade ring, certainly a well attended event. Bar & food close by as well as conveniences, and the outside ones were very clean an well maintained. Hot food included, pizzas, pasties & pies as well as burgers and chips and more, ice creams were sold from a van on site. Everyone in our party had a thoroughly good time and we all look forward to coming back again. So fortunate to have a beautiful sunny day between two days of constant rain. How lucky we were.

Lovely racecourse great atmosphere easy for service at bar no large queue for toilets, extremely inexpensive. Had a superb day will definitely re visit

Went for the Dorset Car Show. Well organized nice venue but not if it had rained. Easy to get to. Nice clean toilets. Nice afternoon out

Good course and a good spectators course - lovely location - really good on a summer evening - very well priced entry so good value for money .

Beautiful racecourse! Suitable for families when allowed. Very luscious and nice field and great food. Safe area. My personal favourite

We had our wedding at Larmer Tree Gardens in March 2024 and it was an absolute dream come true! The venue itself is so unique and special, however what truly made our experience exceptional was the amazing team that work there. We were so lucky to have Francesca as our wedding coordinator. She gave us complete reassurance in the lead-up to our wedding day and was able to help us make the right decisions and solve any challenges that arose. Our guests were equally impressed by all the staff at Larmer Tree Gardens, including the Forking Out catering team. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone had a brilliant time. We cannot thank Francesca and the team enough for making our wedding day so special. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Larmer Tree Gardens for anyone looking for a perfect wedding venue and for their excellent facilities to ensure couples are well prepared and looked after. Larmer Tree will always hold a very special place in our lives and we look forward to going back to visit in the future to relive the amazing memories.

We had an absolutely brilliant postponed wedding day at The Larmer Tree. The team were brilliant with all our date, and plan, changes, and Francesca was wonderful with all our organisation and on the day, we felt very lucky to be working with her. We've had so many comments, even now, about the food served by Forking Out which was plentiful and absolutely delicious! We've had quite a few guests say it's the best wedding they've been to - and some have been to quite a few!

Recently provided a Disco for the prom. The venue is beautiful and has outstanding gardens and views. The venue dates back to the 1800’s. Would recommend for a wedding and even afternoon tea

We had our wedding at Larmer Tree Gardens in July earlier this year and it was absolutely perfect. From our first visit to the venue we knew it was the place where we wanted to get married, it was magical, and had everything that we had in mind for our special day. Thank you specifically to Amy, who helped us throughout the whole journey, answered all our questions, and was just incredible on the day as well, it was seamless, we didn't have to think about anything else on the day and were able to truly enjoy our special day with all of our friends and family. Our guests also loved Larmer Tree - we had so many compliments about how great it was as a wedding venue. Thank you Amy and the team we will never forget it!

We had such a fantastic experience at Larmer Tree with Amy and the rest of the team there. The venue itself is incredible. It is such a beautiful setting with so many options of how you would like to have a wedding, we chose the lower Indian room for our ceremony and was perfect! Amy was a constant source of support throughout our wedding experience, she made the event run so smoothly and took so much stress out of the day. On the day she was incredible, quietly working hard to make sure we were having the best day and we could not have done it without her! We couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else and Amy helped us create our perfect wedding day.

We celebrated our wedding at this wonderful venue and we had the perfect day. Katy and Amy were so helpful and guided us along the way to ensure our day would run as smoothly as possible. All guests enjoyed exploring the gardens, made use of all the lawn games and commented on how unique the place is. We wouldn't change anything and highly recommend Larmer Tree!

We honestly could not ask for a better wedding day. It was simply the best day of our lives, and Larmer Tree was an integral part of that. From the stunning backdrops, the incredible staff, the amazing food and just a simply stunning venue. Although we knew how amazing Larmer Tree was from prior visits, it just felt even more incredible on the day. Francesca our wedding coordinator was simply faultless and made everything run so smoothly from the moment we booked, right up to the day. It is safe to say we could not have gone without Francesca. Larmer Tree will hold a special place in our lives moving forward and we can’t wait to come back in the years to come and reminisce. Thank you for everything Larmer Tree!

We had our wedding at The Larmer Tree Gardens and it was the most incredible venue. The grounds are just wonderful and absolutely breathtaking - the whole team are so helpful but particularly Amy who was our wedding coordinator. She is the most calming tranquil person I’ve ever met and she ensured that the day ran seamlessly. The peacocks are a delight to behold and they made a real show for our guests and the photographs. I couldn’t recommend The Larmer Tree highly enough. It’s spectacular. And as it’s a venue that is also open to the public at times during the year we will delight in returning for our anniversaries.

We had our wedding at the Larmer Tree back in August and wow, what a day. From our first visit to look around the venue to our planning meetings and the day itself everyone we spoke to was so friendly and helpful. We also would not have had the day we did without our amazing wedding coordinator, Amy - she was absolutely fabulous and went out of her way to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day. I could not recommend Larmer Tree enough as a wedding venue - our guests loved exploring the grounds and we will certainly be back to visit this very special place!

The most magical experience from start to finish. Beautiful venue, amazing wedding coordinators who help every step of the way and amazing catering. There’s just something extra special about the Larmer Tree. Thank you to the team for everything, especially Francesca who is just the best in the business at what she does. Love the newly weds Mr and Mrs Elliott xx

We had our wedding at the Larmer Tree in December and I cannot recommend the Larmer Tree enough. We had the best day ever, our guests had an amazing time and the day will be one to remember for us forever. Our wedding planner looked after us and ran the evening super professionally, allowing the day to run effortlessly. The kitchen, Forking Out were simply superb and some guests have said it was the best wedding they have been too. Completely recommend the Larmer Tree and Forking Out, a super kind and friendly team who will help you plan the best wedding.

Beautiful grounds, with a outdoor theatre, summer houses, and water features. Watch out for the peacocks stealing your lunch.

The most important historic gardens in Wiltshire you've never heard of! Definitely one of the county's best kept secrets this Grade 1 listed garden is a masterpiece of late Victorian design, combining that period's passion for benevolent didacticism with civilised entertainment. Oh, and there's a very good little cafe too.

Was a wedding guest on Saturday 6th April 24. The waiting staff throughout the day were absolutely wonderful. All young ,they were attentive mingling around guests with canapes and drinks and again in eve with supper as well as main wedding breakfast. Extremely professional and I have to say, looked like they were enjoying the day too! Full of friendly smiles and attention to detail. Well done! 💯

We had our wedding here in October and it was the most amazing day! We feel in love with the venue from the start. Francesca was brilliant all through planning up to the big day, always there to help and chase things up. I was not a very organised bride and without her the day would have gone so bad! The food was amazing, praise from all the guests about it. It was honestly the most perfect day, I wouldn’t change anything about it.

We had the most incredible wedding here at Larmer Tree. Our wedding was coordinated by Amy who was amazing and so supportive; she answered all my questions leading up to the day and went above and beyond to make sure we were as prepared and relaxed as possible in the days before the wedding. The weather had other plans for our day, but, with the way the staff quickly adapted the ceremony for us, you never would have known it was a "Plan B" situation. Our day was beautiful and we will remember it for the rest of our lives. Their caterers, Forkingout, were also incredible and the food was amazing; no one was left hungry and they adapted to any dietary requirements our guests needed. 10/10 would recommend Larmer Tree Gardens as your wedding venue. Thank you so much Larmer Tree!

This is a small but well organised museum telling the fascinating history of the Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiments. The information is clear and not too extensive, and the display takes us through the various conflicts where these regiments have been engaged over the last couple of centuries. There is always something new to learn from the various war museums, and this place is no exception.

If you've got a keen interest in military history then there's enough to keep you busy here for hours if necessary. We have more of a passing interest so it felt a little like information and memorabilia overload at times given how much was crammed into the maze-like route through the building but don't let that put you off paying this place a visit. Close to the museum and cheap entry, and worth a peruse even if only a brief one.

Small museum. Not expensive. But some really good history about the service men and women

Interesting museum but smaller display of regimental history than I expected but good. Nice cappuccino next door cafe

Well maintained military museum, lots of interesting artifacts and service friendly staff. Lovely gardens at the rear.

A fantastic place to visit.my great great great grandfather was in the 1st Wiltshire regiment and I donated a lot of his military service paper work and photos of him and his military mates.it was on my list of things to do and what a stunning museum very friendly staff and very knowledgeable.from the wardrobe over to the Salisbury cathedral to see the chapel of the,1st Wiltshire regiment.a stunning day out on every thing and a lovely town..

Had a great morning here. The children loved the displays and lots of interesting real life stories. Beautiful and relaxing garden also.

Friendly staff, the story of the rifles lots to see worthy of a second visit. They have a tranquil memorial garden and a lovely cafe.

Some very interesting artifacts. But, we didn't go there for just that, we did a paranormal investigation there. No aggressive spirits, but we did get a lot of direct answers from intelligent spirits. Other equipment also activating.

Really worth of visit if one likes history. Lots of see and the personnel is extra friendly and helpful. Must place to go!

A well laid out museum, helpful curator, an interesting experience. Liked the garden, even in the rain.

Nicely displayed. Clean too. Very Helpful staff.The garden at the back was lovely &well cared for.Walked around it.Unfortunately it had been pouring with rain but still the garden was good to walk around. A wooden castle for children to climb on.

A very interesting place to visit, I went last Friday and lots to see and read. Really well looked after and clean. The garden was very pretty and lavender for the bees.

Great military museum, thoughtfully presented history and stories from the Regiment. Beautiful gardens. Worth a visit

Beautiful little hidden gem of a place, cafe is spot on and the gardens and plants are stunning

A really wonderful place, includes beautiful and peaceful gardens, a fabulous nursery with some of the healthiest looking plants I’ve seen anywhere, and a lovely little cafe serving teas and excellent food. We had the best day out there!

Beautiful gardens, especially in June, the wisteria perfume was wonderful, so many parts to explore. Tea-room food was very tasty and fresh and staff were very friendly, and welcoming. Some lovely plants in the plant centre 👌

The most wonderful and peaceful gardens.......Only 8 acres, but absolutely beautiful. Around every corner is another surprise...... I cannot recommend it enough. If you love plants you will enjoy spending time here. Some parts of the garden have a wild untamed feel....but this all added to the attraction for me! The cafe has an excellent choice of delicious homemade cakes! The coffee was good too. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Not well advertised so not too many visitors. Excellent plant centre...so of course I bought some! They have peacocks too!

Beautiful gardens in a lovely tranquil valley. Excellent small cafe and a wide range of quality plants for sale.

A lovely garden to explore, with a stunning chalk stream, coupled with a lovely little coffee shop. Not the biggest of plant centres, but some nice plants. Certainly worth a visit

Went to Heale Gardens today.Unfortunately the gardens were shut due to flooding. Hardly surprising due to all the rain.There is a sign outside the Main gate saying so.(To the Right before you enter from Main gate). The Tea room was open😀. Had a Lovely bacon,brie &cranberry brown toasties.. Delicious. Their Mocha drinks are good too.The Garden Centre was open,so bought 2 Lovely large plants. The staff there are Very Kind &Helpful. One of My Favourite places to Visit.

Spent 3 hours walking around the gardens. Had tea in the cafe and bought a couple of plants before we left, in the garden centre. Well worth a visit, highly recommended.

Quiet exceptional and a wonderful environment. Excellent value for money. 6 months later and another visit. Even more lovely than the last occasion.

Not many vendors today, but the ones there had delicious, fresh food. Lots of fresh meats and cheeses. Olives and fruits and vegetables. Lots of friendly vendors.

It's a quite busy market which is in the large open plan area in the city centre. There are lots of stalls appearing each week. The area acts as a central car park. A few times during the year they have fairs there which I enjoy photograph them. There is payed toilets 20p situated down two flights of stairs down. Upstairs quite close there is a disabled single toilet which you access via a disability key.

My husband and I were excited to spend some time at the market after visiting Stonehenge. I thought it was going to be a lot of local crafters and artists. It was mostly food — already prepared and things to take home to cook. There were a few stalls with random merch… t-shirts, hats, vintage coats, hunting gear, and a mystical booth. We had fun perusing the wares. We parked in Culver’s St car park. I wish I’d realized there was a closer car park. I don’t know that I would visit the market again unless it was for the mystical shop.

Excellent traditional open market. Excellent smoked Trout from Mere Fish Farms. Delicious olives from the olive guy! I've bought shirts, trousers, watch straps, hog roast baps, bratwurst & all sorts from there.

We spent 2 to 3 hours going around the market including a sit down for coffee. There was lots of really good stalls with arts and crafts and small batch gins (the grapefruit one was amazing) and vodka stall again the artisan breads and French cheeses, there is so much choice not to forget the hot food on offer. Had a really nice time worth going to.

Nice market, still quite small compared to markets (locals tell me lot more stalls in warmer weather). Good selection from hardware and clothing to meat and veg. Worth a visit (even in the colder days).

Amazing space for a market. So historic. Loads of stalls, with great quality products. Would definitely visit again when in Salisbury.

Getting a stand on the market was a simple procedure, I got a lot of help with setting up. I ran a stand for Charity, (Head Up Charity). It cost me £25 for the whole day. Very worth while.

A great range of stalls in this old fashioned market. You can get almost everything you need here, from meat and fish, fruit and veg, clothes and household goods.

There's some really good food/produce here. The bakery stall has really good bread and cakes/pasties. Good selection of veg, sauces, REAL honey, meats etc. Good Butchers stall, plus lots of local meats, cheese and organic veg. Indian food, wood fire pizzas etc and other hot food. Much better produce than supermarkets, better by a long way!

It is a large market with different stalls, all of them very nice and treat customers very nicely. I personally recommend the coffee stall for the high quality of the coffee and the good treat we had from the owner, Simon. It is a pleasure to buy fruits and vegetables, cinnamon rolls, diversity of food from all over the world and other non food related items. It is a really good market near the cathedral.

First visit in a good few years. Good selection of stools and street food. Well priced and great for a browse round on a nice day. The kids enjoyed the toy stool and the sweets, the fruit is a bargain after lunch. Defo worth a visit and some nice local cafes in the market square if you want to stop fo a coffee.

Weekly market in Salisbury City centre. There are stalls for groceries and vegetables, meat and spices. There are also mobile food trucks for pizza, Coffee & Cakes, Indian and I think Chinese cuisines.

A fantastic weekly market here in Salisbury. Every Tuesday and Saturday. Amazing quality bread, meat, cheese, fruit and vegetables at super low prices.

We were staying at Hare House in Wilton and every morning when in the kitchen we could see the rear section of the church (and sometimes sheep as well!) We left exploring the church until the final day of our holiday and it was worth the wait. Taking the opportunity to walk through the peace and serenity of the graveyard and the sunlight filtering through the trees, we walked all the way around the building before entering. As we crossed the threshold, we became aware of a morning service taking place, so we silently sat down and waited for it to conclude. Asking if it was alright to take pictures, we walked around the wonderful surroundings and the feeling of being enveloped in calm and tranquility. We said our farewell to the church and transited once again into the real world.

I had the privilege of visiting St Mary and St Nicholas' Church during my recent trip to Sailsbury. The church is an absolute masterpiece. The architecture is so intricate, it's as if you're standing inside God's playroom. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Stunning romanesque church in the village of Wilton. It looks like it has been plucked from Italy and deposited in the English countryside. The architecture is amazing and the grounds were serene during our trip. Well worth a visit if you are in the area and appreciate this kind of architecture.

This church was a huge surprise. Highly upset that the town was closed at 16:30 on a Friday, we decided to head into this open church. We expected a quick look around, but were greeted by a tour guide who asked if we wanted to learn about the church. Of course! It was AMAZING! The guide talked to us about the history and how the church came to be. Simply overwhelming! The pictures will never do this fabulous place justice. A must see and please schedule a tour....fantastic! Not enough stars possible to give!

One of my must see churches I'm the South of England. The reason as the architecture is unlike any other in the UK from what I know. Looking at its styling is very similar to the architecture seen in I believe Italy. The building is beautiful and the stonemasonry is out of this world. I was very lucky as my friend and I were shown around the interior by one of the vicars/Tour guides and we talked for nearly 30 minutes about the history of how it came to be made and why. Fantastic meeting him and very interesting talking to him. We also had plenty of opportunities to be able to take lots of photographs of the beautiful interior as well. Must go back as my photography has improved since the previous visit. Luckily its only 30 minutes away so I can visit again and hopefully capture the interior a bit better. I have added a few photos of the front entrance and the side entrance through the base of the tower showing the individully sculpted pillars, a must see feature. Definitely recommended 👌plus you have Wilton House in the village too so try and do both

I wasn't planning on visiting, but on a whim we stopped off before heading into Salisbury. A stunning interior, with some wonderful lighting. Friendly lady looking after the church, keen to share her knowledge. What's not to like?

This old ,wonderful church must be a national treasure.The way that it has been looked after is truly amazing.Today was our second visit and it just gets better.If you are ever in the area please try to visit.I guarantee you will never forget it.
