Salisbury; Saturday, 27 November, 2010

I had breakfast and then phoned the Cathedral to see if there were any spaces left on the morning’s tower tour. There were so I headed out to the Cathedral to have a look around.

The tour up the tower took nearly two hours, and the views from the bottom of the spire were stunning, perhaps made even better by the light dusting of snow which was slowly melting away.

Having been up the tower I finished off wandering around the Cathedral, including taking in the Magna Carta exhibition. From there I headed across the road to the Salisbury and Wiltshire museum.

After the museum I grabbed a bite to eat for a very late lunch and then had a wander around Salisbury, though it was at this point I found that all the rest of the museums were closed for the winter.

I wandered over to the tourist information centre to see how easy it would be to get out to Woodhenge, like Stonehenge but possibly older, but by the time I’d got the bus out there it would already be gone sunset so there wouldn’t be much point.

Instead I had a bit more of a wander around the town, before headed back to the hotel to freshen up and then go out for dinner.
