Salisbury Cathedral’s spire is the tallest in Britian. It was added to the Cathedral in the mid-1300s and weighs around 6,600 tons. Today’s spire is around three inches taller than the original as a result of restoration work done in the 1950s. It’s believed that architects at the time might have forgotten to include the mortar in their calculations!

Come and see... Our magnificent flowing water font by sculptor William Pye. Britain’s largest cloisters with landscaped garth. The beautiful Prisoner of Conscience window in the Trinity Chapel designed by Gabriel Loire in Chartres, France. The world’s oldest working mechanical clock, which dates back to 1386. The turret clock, which has no face, has ticked more than 4.4 billion times since it was built.

 

Plus free time in Salisbury.
