The Cathedral Close at Salisbury is just a wonderful place to visit, on its own or on your way to the cathedral.

If you visit Salisbury, you have to go this historical cathedral. It is right in the middle of town and not far from very interesting museums.

Lovely location alongside the Cathedral with all of its attractions. Several of the houses & museums are open to the public but the admissions do tend to be expensive.

There are alot of lovely quaint houses around the close including the one that Ted Heath lived in. There are some amazing gardens and well worth visiting some of the houses.
