Salisbury Mini Guide
What can you Tell me About Salisbury?
Salisbury dates back to prehistoric times but it was during the time of the Saxons it really began to develop and gained its name. After the Norman Conquest Salisbury Cathedral was built and the town grew around it, eventually becoming a city. It continued to develop as a market town for the region. Today visitors are attracted by the proximity of Stonehenge and the new visitor centre, about to be built, will draw more people to the region.
