Set with the River Avon winding through it, Salisbury is filled with stunning period properties and generous green spaces. Salisbury is a world-recognised historical city known for its fine English landscape and is home to one of the finest medieval cathedrals in the United Kingdom with the tallest spire in Britain. Salisbury Cathedral also holds the famous Magna Carta and one of the oldest working clocks in the world.
