SALISBURY

The tall slender tower of Salisbury Cathedral can be seen for miles. At 404 feet, it is the tallest spire in England. The town itself is pretty too. 

the stunning Poultry Cross. This spot is pretty special because it’s the last one standing of the four original market crosses that used to dot the city. Back in the 14th century, if you needed chickens, geese, ducks, and other fowl, then this was the place to be. The beautiful hexagonal canopy was added in the 1400s to give the sellers some much-needed cover from the English rain. ⁣
While most of what you see is truly medieval, that fancy stone spire on top was actually a 1852 addition by a Victorian architect. It’s wild to think that people are still meeting up under this same roof today, just like they did in the Middle Ages. 

This building on the West Walk of the Cathedral Close is known as 'The Wardrobe', and is home to the Rifles Berkshire and Wiltshire Museum.  Further along the West Walk, is the King's House, which is home to the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum.
