Advantages: the close in the summer

Disadvantages: charged an admission fee

Salisbury Cathedral dominates the medieval market city of Salisbury at 123m it is the tallest spire in the country. The close (the walled area surrounding the cathedral) is the largest in Engaland at 80 acres and provides a beautiful green space for the enjoyment of the residents and visitors. The cathedral is a fantastic example of early English architecture and is worth a look whether you are interested in architecture/history or religion or just want to potter around an awe inspiring building. The cathedral is surrounded by a large square of grass which, during warmer months is teaming with tourists and people escaping the city for a quiet and relaxing day lying in the sunshine, eating icecreams and enjoying the view. There are often sculptures by local artists situated in the grounds aswell as several resident statues including the Walking Madonna. I would recommend the cathedral and its grounds as a must see for anyone living in/visiting Salisbury.

Summary: Beautiful and historic focus of Salisbury
