Salisbury and Stonehenge



Pretty homes line the Cathedral close

The historic Haunch of Venison pub where we had a memorable and delicious lunch


A model showing the church being built. It took just 30 years from 1220-58


View of the tower from the cloisters




Clock mechanics from 1356 are still working perfectly



The grave of a knight from the early 1200s


Some graves are brightly-painted

Stonehenge from the south
Massive stones called 'sarsens' were brought here from many hundreds of miles away
