Take time to walk around the chapel, and read through the memorials that are on display.

Mysterious Stonehenge

Wander around the World Heritage Site and be captivated by this unique creation. The monument first took shape 5,000 years ago and its purpose has been the subject of an abundance of theories; was it designed as a religious temple, an astronomical clock or even a Bronze Age burial ground? Decide for yourself whilst discovering the history of this mysterious monument.

Salisbury Cathedral

Discover 800 years of English history under one roof, with an introductory talk from a specialist Salisbury Cathedral Guide followed by a self-guided tour. Learn how and why ancient stonemasons built this astonishing structure with its 123m Spire, the tallest in the UK.

Discover how the main building, with just 1.2m of foundations laid on a bed of sand, gravel and water, was started in 1220 and completed in just 38 years. Hold your breath as you gaze up at the pillars that bend under the weight of the Spire and look down as the Guide lifts a hidden tile in the Spire Crossing, using a dipstick to measure the water level just below your feet.

Awarded a Visit Britain Best Told Story accolade, your Cathedral admission includes access to the world’s oldest working mechanical clock and the Cathedral’s UNESCO protected 1215 Magna Carta, one of only 4 still in existence.
