Anyone planning on visiting the beautiful county of Wiltshire in England should definitely take the time to visit Stonehenge. An estimated 5000 years old Stonehenge is probably Britain’s most famous ancient landmark and a wonderful piece of England’s heritage.
If you’re planning a visit to Stonehenge then a good place to stay is the town of Salisbury. The Salisbury Hostel provides budget priced accommodation for the family and is ideal as there are tours leaving for Stonehenge from the town centre.
The Stonehenge tour will take you through the Wiltshire countryside to Stonehenge whilst showing you some of the county’s most famous sites along the way such as Old Sarum. If you don’t have your own transport then the tour is definitely recommended as Stonehenge is somewhat out of the way. The tour will give you a guided tour of Stonehenge whilst you learn about the historical significance of the site.
Another famous landmark worth visiting whilst in Wiltshire is Salisbury cathedral. The stunning cathedral is located in the heart of Salisbury and has a beautifully preserved Magna Carta on public display.
A great way of getting around during your visit to Salisbury is by bike. The town is very flat and with Rook Seat Bike Hire you can get a cycle for all the family. They are also happy to provide you with a delivery service should your accommodation not be close to the hire center.
Want to support the local economy whilst sampling locally grown produce? Then the Salisbury Famers Market is just the thing. The market is open all year round from 4.30 till 8 and has a wide variety of locally grown fruit, vegetables and meat.
