ATTRACTIONS IN AND AROUND SALISBURY

SALISBURY CATHEDRAL

Salisbury Cathedral is a truly remarkable building, a testimony to the faith and practical skills of the medieval craftsmen who built it but it is much more than a historical monument. It is a living church and a place of prayer. As the Cathedral Church of the Salisbury diocese it is Mother Church of several hundred parishes in Wiltshire and Dorset. It is also a centre of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.

Distance from the hotel 1.1 miles.

SALISBURY & SOUTH WILTSHIRE GOLF COURSE

Set in the glorious Wiltshire countryside close to the medieval City of Salisbury, the course offers magnificent views for miles around. It is probably the finest downland course in Southern England. All 27 holes are maintained to a very high standard by a dedicated team of professionals, with the quality of the greens and the presentation of the course highly praised by golfers throughout the year. Once you have enjoyed the experience of playing this unique golfing venue, the challenge of the courses and the ambience of the clubhouse.

Step on board the traditional hand built Punt and enjoy the most unique viewing of Salisbury’s unseen character.

MOMPESSON HOUSE

When walking into the celebrated Cathedral Close in Salisbury, visitors step back into a past world, and on entering Mompesson House, featured in the award-winning film Sense and Sensibility, the feeling of leaving the modern world behind is deepened. The tranquil atmosphere is enhanced by the magnificent plasterwork, fine period furniture and graceful oak staircase, which are the main features of this perfectly proportioned Queen Anne house. The delightful walled garden has a pergola and traditionally planted herbaceous borders.

Distance from the hotel 0.9 miles.

NEW FOREST

William the Conqueror set aside the Forest for hunting more than 900 years ago as his ‘Nova Forestra’ or ‘New Forest’ and centuries of grazing by deer, ponies and cattle have shaped the landscape. William would probably still recognise much of the Forest as the same place he hunted wild deer and boar. Today it is a wonderful area to explore by walking, cycling and on horseback.

Distance from the hotel 23.6 miles.

Heale House and its eight acres of beautiful gardens lie beside the river Avon at Middle Woodford, just north of Salisbury, Wiltshire. Much of the house is unchanged since King Charles II hid here in 1651.

WILTON HOUSE & GARDENS

Every visitor, guest and friend who visits Wilton House comments on how friendly and welcoming the house is. I believe that this is because Wilton is first and foremost a family home and has been for over 450 years. There has been a major programme of restoration and improvements, these have included the addition of several new gardens and the complete renovation of the Inigo Jones South Front, including all the state rooms.
