The view of Salisbury Cathedral from the lush meadows surrounding it has been voted the finest view in Britain and it's easy to see why.
This magnificent medieval building was started in 1220 and completed in 1258, with the 123 metres high spire added a generation later.
It's not just the exterior which is impressive. Inside, guides will point out the 14th century clock, which still works and the octagonal chapter house.
The city doesn't disappoint, crammed full of interesting buildings including Mompesson House, admired for its oak staircase and fine plasterwork.
This city in the countryside is a grwat place to explore - many of the speciality and gift shops are houses in beautifuil black and white timbered buildings.
Salisbury is also an ideal base for anyone wanting to explore nearby Stonehenge.
