    Getting TO/AROUND: Our daughter drove us to Salisbury and she parked in the carpark (5 pounds) in the close which was expensive, but it was pretty close to the cathedral. And the walk enabled me to get additional pictures of the cathedral from a different perspective.

    Other Car parks include Central, George Mall/New Street, Brown Street, Crane Street

    The houses in the close date from the 13th to the 20th century. They were originally built to house the senior clergy but now there are only 5 members of the chapter resident. Most are now private residences but there are a few that are open to the public.

    Other transportation:

    The Cathedral website says:

    Train:
    Regular services from London Waterloo taking only 90 minutes with a 10 minute walk to the Cathedral

    Bus:
    Wilts and Dorset bus company: ring 01722 336855 - National Express national coach service: ring 0990 808080

    Cyclists:
    Salisbury is situated in the heart of a rural community making a journey by cycle to the Cathedral both easy and pleasant. You need to book your cycle on the train in advance or hire locally from Stonehenge Cycles on 01722 334915. Cycle parking available in the Cathedral Close

     Salisbury was always my favourite English cathedral until I visited Lincoln, which is even grander and more beautiful. You will see it soon on "The Da Vinci Code".

     Salisbury Cathedral in the heart of the CITY of Salisbury is the only Cathedral with a dipstick. No! Really! it has been built on a peat bog, when the peat dries it shrinks so they need to add water to the peat under the foundations to stop it collapsing.
