Stonehenge...insert eerie music here.
Cadaver tomb 2
This model of a dragon I believe is made up entirely out of flowers & leaves. He (the notice says it’s male) keeps moving all over Salisbury & is a delight to children. CCTV have a close view on him, there’s a large notice to explain what he does & who he is. St George’s Day is celebrated here & he vanishes back into hibernation after a few months.
This is a nice place to go & watch planes take off. There is a cafe here which does home cooked meals, there is also generouse glasses of orange juice for £1.30. The cafe is open all week and overlooks the runway, and there is indoor and outdoor seating. There is wheelchair access & toliots, open from 8.30am-8pm. There is also a licensed bar open from 9am-5pm.
Salisbury Flying Club is the oldest in England, starting in 1915. You can get flying lessons here, & can get you a full pilot's license.
Bakers Oven is in the Maltings. It’s a nice place to get big tuna sandwiches & large cups of tea. The crockery is all orange china, not the kind I would choose but I don’t think they are fussy. There’s inside & outside seating. The outside seating is of metal chairs with wobbly tables, no one sits out side when it’s raining. Inside you can take away food or order at the counter, there’s a range of cakes & buns on offer, the sandwich’s are in a fridge behind you on entering. Music softly plays, it’s usually Spire FM. There is a rest room at the back & this café can be accessed by the disabled or pushchairs. Avoid coming on a Tuesday 7 Saturday as this is market day, & can get very busy. The cappuccino buns are nice, although they can be a bit crummy. At Christmas they have lovely mince pies & cakes. There’s also chicken sandwiches & baguettes, you should try the cooked meals on offer.
This is a must see activity. The two horses you see pulling the dray are called Hamish & Warrior, sadly Warrior (pictured on the right) had a fatal heart attack last year; there is a memorial dedicated to him in Elizabeth Gardens. Warrior was a character & liked doing his work; both boys were always found waiting patiently in Queen St opposite Watson’s china shop for visitors. We always went with them down to the river at Elizabeth gardens & I ended up getting more wet then they did. Their field was in a village called Britford, Warrior had a favourite tree, & the crafty horror always chose the muddiest puddle to stand in!
Today it’s Hamish & Walter who pull the cart. Hamish is more reserved then old Warrior & hates rain; Hamish on the other hand is very inquisitive especially towards mints. We have two boarder collies who ride around with us who hide under the seat. They are both sisters, one of them is a bit hyperactive unlike her quiet sister who goes to sleep. We meet people from all walks of life & I explain the history of the buildings to them, I know a few ghost stories that would make your hair stand on end!
One of the most beautiful cathedrals in Britain, and full of history. Built between 1220 and 1258, with Britain's tallest spire added later, between 1285 and 1315, which at 123 metres (404m metres) is the tallest medieval structure in the world.
It's a huge Cathedral, total length of the interior is 135 metres (449 ft) with a seating capacity of 1900 people.
The Cathedral has on display one of only four surviving copies of Magna Carta, written in 1215. This is the 'The Great Charter', the agreement made between King John and his barons at Runneymede in 1215. It is beautifully written in Latin on vellum (animal skin) and contains some 3,500 words. It established, amongst other principles in law, that no free man may be imprisoned or prosecuted without fair trail before his equals. The basic principles of the Magna Carta have been incorporated into the Constitution of the United States of America.
