Just Show Me Salisbury Cottages
'A city in the countryside' is the best way to describe this beautiful heritage town, offering everything imaginable for a relaxing break, including lovely Salisbury cottages.
On approaching town gaze in awe at the splendid 13th Century cathedral dominating the skyline from far and wide. Its lofty spire soars up from lush, green fields, the city's legendary water meadows depicted in Constable's masterpieces. For the best views, trace his steps along the Town Path from the Queen Elizabeth Gardens towards Harnham Mill or join the Tower Tour of Salisbury Cathedral climbing 332 steps up a narrow, winding staircase.
Explore Salisbury's centre filled with a muddle of medieval and Georgian buildings. It's very compact, so you'll soon feel at home. Shops range from quirky, independent outlets to major chain stores, plus regular street markets. You'll also find a handful of arts and culture venues, as well as plenty of places to eat and drink - ancient coaching inns (look out for the Haunch of Venison), trendy bistros and pavement cafés.
Our Salisbury cottages are just a short drive from many other attractions. Highlights include the enigmatic boulders of Stonehenge gazing out over Salisbury Plain, Longleat Safari Park and the beautiful gardens of Stourhead.
Throw in a year-round calendar of events and festivals, daytime and evening meetings at Salisbury Racecourse, plus stacks of way-marked paths for walking, riding and cycling. Indeed, something for everyone.
So if your idea of holiday heaven is a stay in a town with an historic pedigree, try a Salisbury cottage soon!
