From an historic park to a lively Arts Centre, housed in an ancient church, this walk winds its way round the historic centre of Salisbury. You’ll see an 18th century almshouse, a busy Market Square at the heart of the city, and a 15th century shelter where poultry was sold. Follow a footpath round a medieval church, then a walk by the river before ending at an elegant Green, and the magnificence of Salisbury cathedral before you.

Walk 2: Cathedral to Guildhall - 1 mile / 1.6 kms (accessible to wheelchairs and buggies with small diversion)

From a fabulous view of Salisbury Cathedral this walk explores more of the cathedral grounds and its elegant buildings, before taking you back to the city centre.
