Top 10 Outdoor Activities in Salisbury, England

May 16, 2022 Almeta Stockton

If you saw Chevy Chase's masterpiece European Vacation, you'll recognize Stonehenge's massive formation. (As a citizen of the world, you should recognize Stonehenge anyway.) The prehistoric stone circle is eight miles from Salisbury, and its visitors provide a boost to the local economy. With a history dating back over 5,000 years, there is no shortage of significant places to visit in and around Salisbury. On the "must see" list are Salisbury Cathedral, Longleat and Stourhead gardens (and Stonehenge, of course).

Salisbury & South Wilts Golf Club

Set in the glorious Wiltshire countryside close to the medieval City of Salisbury, both of the downland courses offer magnificent views for miles around. The testing Cathedral 18 hole layout has been in play since 1991 carefully combining holes from the Old course and new ones built in 1989, and the easier going Bibury 9 hole from the early 1900s.

TWO Bird Experiences & Education Ltd

Ever since I can remember I have loved birds. When I was little, my mum would take me to feed the swans at the local duck pond and, in the wilderness of the back garden, me and my nan would sit and watch the robins jump down to the feeders. Since then, I have worked in bird centres and zoos around the UK, absorbing every piece of knowledge I could to help me achieve my dream. Today I am lucky enough to spend every day sharing my passion with the people who visit me and the birds at RiverBourne.

Reviewed By C_Donnelly12

Highly recommended for non-golfers who want to have a fun day out and made even better by the top tracer technology that tracks your progress on the range. With the added technology it helped a novice like me build upon my skills by giving accurate insights into my swings. The golf centre itself was very welcoming, with some great spaces to sit and hang out after our session. The owners and staff were incredibly helpful, making sure we had what we needed and were on hand to answer any questions.

Harnham Water Meadows

Reviewed By MarcusHurley - Bristol, United Kingdom

We parked near the Old Mill and walked along the Town Path with the meadows on either side. It was fascinating to read the notice board about how and why the meadows were created and lovely that they are still being maintained. It really did give a feel of England 200 years ago, especially with the views of the cathedral.

High Post Golf Club

The warmest of welcomes awaits you at this classic and rare down-land golfing experience, with arguably the finest and quickest greens in the south. Described by 'Golf Monthly' as a "hidden gem," the 6305 yards par-70, 18-hole course with 72 bunkers at High Post has, over the years, received many complimentary remarks. Reputed as one of the finest venues in the country, perhaps the highest praise

Reviewed By missymadam - Salisbury, United Kingdom

A great course near Salisbury to play. Visitors are made welcome on the course and in the club house which serves good plain food. The course is playable all year only snow stops play. Society are made welcome all abilities will enjoy a round at Highpost. If you are in need of a place to stay just across the road is the Stones Hotel which is newly refurbished.
