"There is no doubt in my mind that Salisbury Cathedral is the single most beautiful structure in England and that Close around it, the most beautiful space." Bill Bryson, Notes from a Small Island

Be inspired by the peace and beauty of one of Britain’s finest medieval cathedrals, Salisbury offers a warm welcome to all who visit

  • Britain's tallest spire (123m/404 ft) and best preserved original Magna Carta (AD 1215)

  • Discover the oldest working clock (AD1386) in Europe

  • Experience a tradition of eight centuries of worship at choral evensong

Inside the Cathedral discover nearly 800 years of history including the finest preserved Magna Carta (1215), Europe’s oldest working clock (1386) and most stunning font (2008). Boy and girl choristers sing daily services. Explore the roof spaces on a tower tour, climbing 332 steps to the base of the spire, and admire the magnificent views across Salisbury.

New this year – the Cathedral’s beautiful new flowing water font, designed by sculptor William Pye, and a new West Front statue of Canon Ezra, a 20th Century Sudanese martyr. Facilities: Guided / self guided tours (Tower tour: 90 minutes- book in advance), Restaurant, Shop, Disabled access. Group rates available
