Salisbury






We had a great time in Salisbury







we walked around






and admired the Mediaeval architecture.






At the other end of this archway is the Cathedral






which is stunning. It has the highest spire in the whole of Britain and maybe Europe





we walked around the cloisters






and admired the stonework







and then went inside, and here is Antony Gormley's Flare II,  suspended from the ceiling







a walk around the west side






and then the marvellous fountain in the centre.




As always with cathedrals, the houses around them are fantastic and this is no exception





The houses around here are so beautiful, I had to take photographs of each one.







Old, weathered brickwork







this must be one of the healthiest wisterias I have ever seen





and isn't this gate beautiful?




A cottage garden in the middle of the city






the military museum





roses in profusion




Edward Heath's house.





We stayed at the White Hart hotel





which has the most wonderful garden





We sat here in the evenings





before going out to eat






when it got dark the garden was magical - the creeper covers this wall and through the foliage you can see the lighted windows.
