Discover over 750 years of history, including Britain's tallest spire, the world's best preserved original Magna Carta and Europe's oldest working clock, on a tour with one of the volunteer guides. Built between 1220 and 1258, in one architectural style, Salisbury is Britain's finest 13th century Gothic Cathedral.

 

A previous Cathedral had stood nearby since as early as 1075. Salisbury is unique amongst medieval English cathedrals, built within one century with no substantial later additions. The building is remarkable testimony to the faith and practical skills of those who erected it.

 

Why not take a tower tour, climbing 332 steps by a narrow, winding spiral staircase, to reach the foot of the spire 225 feet above ground level? Facilities at the Cathedral include a shop and a restaurant.
