Salisbury Cathedral
  Salisbury Cathedral – What's more peaceful than an English Gothic cathedral on a summer's day? The cathedral close is perfect for a picnic, and afterwards, the cool shady cathedral is refreshing. Don't miss a fascinating model of how the cathedral was built in the Middle Ages. The Chapter House has one of the four original copies of the Magna Carta on display.
    Cross over the Crane Street Bridge to the Watermeadows, a pleasant park with children's playground and swans in the Avon River. Relax or run around, watch people fishing for pike on the river.

Humourous, handy tips for a medieval stonemason – say goodby to your family and apprentice for seven years, pick your specialty (gargoyles, arches, pillars), don't fall off the scaffolding, and your work will still stand today.
