Salisbury Cathedral

Join me on a walk around the historic cathedral city of Salisbury. The architecture is varied and offers the opportunity to shoot grand architectural vistas through to close up images of specific structures and elements. The cathedral dates back to 1220 with other buildings dating from a similar period through to the present day. I have checked with the cathedral and we will be allowed to take photographs inside the cathedral, providing they are not to be used for commercial purposes, and there are no restrictions on the use of tripods. There is, however, a charge of £9.00/ person for a general visit which will allow photographs to be taken, with an additional charge made should you wish to include other things in your visit e.g. view the Magna Carta. The plan therefore is visit the cathedral in the morning, break for lunch at one of the many cafes in Salisbury and continue in the afternoon walking around the city. Should anyone be interested in joining the walk but prefer to not to do the cathedral then we can arrange to meet at the same start point as for the morning at 2.00  p.m.

Walk Location

Historic Salisbury

Walk Directions

We will meet in Cathedral Close which is best entered from the High Street. Entering Cathedral Close from the High Street you will see a car parking attendants booth in front of you, see picture. (N.B. it will be almost impossible to park within the cathedral grounds and it is not recommended trying.) To the right of the parking attendants booth is a grass area where we will assemble ready to set off at 10.30. There are two main car parks in Salisbury and several smaller ones however, it is often difficult to find spaces in the smaller car parks therefore in central Salisbury I would recommend either the Central Long Stay car park or the Old George Mall car park. Alternatively there are 3 Park & Ride car parks, these are Beehive Park and Ride, London Road Park and Ride and Britford Park and Ride South. If you are coming by train the station is approximately a 10-15 minute walk from the cathedral.

Accessibility

Accessibility within the centre of Salisbury is good with flat terrain throughout. If walking from the station there is a slight incline, downhill from the station towards the centre, but even to call it an incline maybe somewhat of an exaggeration.
