Salisbury is one of England's finest cathedral cities, its 404-foot spire (the tallest in England) visible for miles across the Wiltshire plain. The cathedral houses one of four surviving copies of the Magna Carta, and the medieval city centre with its chequerboard street plan and watermeadows is remarkably intact. Salisbury serves as the gateway to Stonehenge and the military garrisons of Salisbury Plain.
“Cathedral city with exceptional heritage tourism. Military presence at nearby bases. Recovered well from Novichok incident.”
