Salisbury Cathedral, or the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary to give it its formal name, is located in the Wilshire town of Salisbury. A fine example of what is known as Early English architecture, the cathedral boasts the tallest spire of any church in the U.K. Construction of the main body of the Church began in 1220 and was complete by 1258. The cathedral is of great historic significance. The Salisbury cathedral clock was built in 1386 and is reputed to be the oldest modern clock in the world that is still working. It was restored in 1956. Visitors will find that the clock has no face because during the period in which it was built clocks rang out the time using a bell. Salisbury Cathedral also boasts the best preserved of the four original copies of the Magna Carta, the charter signed by King John in 1215, which became a key text in English political life and an important symbol of liberty.
When you are finished your trip to Salisbury Cathedral, the town of Salisbury and the region around it boasts a great many other sites worth seeing. Chauffeur One can draw up an itinerary for you or fit in with your own plans. If you wish to stay overnight or for longer, to better explore the local area, Chauffeur One can accommodate your plans.
Salisbury lies at the confluence of no less than five rivers, the Hampshire Avon and its tributaries – the Bourne, Wylye, Ebble and Nadder rivers. The flow of the rivers has been redirected to ensure they pass through the town’s public gardens, one of which is the Queen Elizabeth Gardens. The UNESCO World Heritage site of Stonehenge, with its world famous ring of prehistoric stones, is located around 8 miles from Salisbury. Stonehenge is located on Salisbury Plain, a chalk plateau that forms part of a system of download, or open chalk hills, that characterizes the landscape of the area. When you are finished touring, you can dine at one of the many restaurants in the area.
