A few photos from Salisbury, Wiltshire

[editor]

A took a quick walk around Ye Olde Salisbury last week and bagged a few pics on my travels...

And here's the worst named Apple reseller store in the land:

Very beautiful-looking place

And within cycling range ..

The cathedral is very tasteful and more restrained than the one in Wells ...

I love Salisbury. The cathedral is beautiful, and seeing part the Magna Carta up close is quite special (despite the jobsworth employee screaming at my girlfriend from accross the hushed room just for getting her camera out of her pocket in its vicinity )

There's a few nice pubs and tearooms too. It still has an air of a Thomas Hardy novel in places.

Stormfront?

Great pics- got me all nostalgic as I spent the end of my teenage years living there. You've even taken a pic of th back of my 6th form block!

Salisbury is quite nice for a new town. It's a bit let down by the eyesore of the Sainsbury's and its car park right in the middle.

Did you see Edward Heath's house? It's just behind the cathedral if I remember correctly.

When I was a teenager and drinking cider in the park, we decided it would be a wheeze to jump over the fence of Ted Heaths house. We forgot he had armed cops guarding him! How we ran.

The new font is fantastic.

Actually, I agree.

Stormfront?!?!? FFS.

The cathedral is impressive, but such a wallet tugging shit fuck.

Durham's cathedral is equally impressive and doesn't try to dip your pockets every step of the way, thus making the experience far better and paradoxically more expensive as you end up donating more.

Actually, I agree.

The best bit of Winchy is the flooded basement bit. I'd love to explore it in a little dingy...

Nah it's blates York Minster

Although none of them have a spire of course

Salisbury for the elegant exterior, Winchester for the interior...

I got drunk one night and climbed to the top of Old Sarum fort on the outskirts of Salisbury. It's a lovely town.
