Salisbury Cathedral
This 800-year-old architectural masterpiece, with its 123-metre-high spire, is a striking sight.
Did you know? Salisbury was not bombed during the Second World War by express order to preserve this marvel of a building.
The inside is as striking as the outside, not only for its beauty and excellent state of preservation, but also for the curiosities that can be seen: old maps, memorials to soldiers who died in the campaign, models explaining how it was built and even the oldest working mechanical clock in the world (1386). There is also the best preserved copy of the Magna Carta (of the 4 copies that exist today) in a place protected from light.
Opening hours: Monday - Saturday: 09:30 - 17:00 Sunday: 12:30 - 16:00
Remember to book your tickets in advance.

Poultry Cross
This city is known locally as the city of the 5 rivers, and it is recommended to walk through its cobbled narrow streets and discover the different nooks and the small bridges that have been built to cross the rivers.
This old stone kiosk indicates the place where the market was originally held. And it is in the middle of one of the most picturesque areas of Salisbury, where the streets are named after different trades.
Take a stroll through these streets and enjoy the friendly atmosphere.

Buttercross Monument
Wouldn't it be great to have a magical device that would allow seeing what life was like in a place hundreds of years ago?
If such a thing existed, at this site, it would show the peasants at the foot of the monument selling their produce (hence the name).

The Red Lion
Yes! the Red Lion was an excuse for you to close this magnificent trip by visiting Arundel...
But quite a very good excuse as it is said that this place always has fantastic food, drink and atmosphere.
Open every day from 11:30 to 23:00.
Arundel has a spectacular castle which was not included on this route due to its opening times throughout the year. It is open from 1 April to 31 October. If you get the chance to visit it, it is highly recommended. Here is some information.
Now... It's probably dark and cold when you arrive, but that hasn't stopped you before, and it won't stop you now, will it? Take a stroll through the central streets of Arundel to get an impression of this beautiful place so close to Brighton, your last stop on the trip.
Thank you for choosing this route, I hope you enjoyed it.
