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).

I would highly recommend a visit to Hingstons of Wilton Antiques if you travel anywhere near Salisbury. The antique shop showcases an excellent range of furniture of superb quality from all periods. Their restoration work is unsurpassed. Nick, the Chairman, was a pleasure to work with in every regard - professional, highly knowledgeable, and trustworthy,. He made shipping arrangements expeditiously for the furniture I purchased, and he made several inquiries so that a reasonable quote was obtained. I would highly recommend a visit to Hingstons of Wilton Antiques. Your visit will be well worth your time.

Having two granddaughters who are animal mad, I took them to the farm. Lovely walking routes take you through the various areas beside the river. They were enamoured of the calves and sheep but especially liked the animals they could feed, the donkeys, goats etc. Plenty of interesting information about the animals and places to wash hands.

Food was very reasonable and exceptionally good value - I honestly think the citrus and za'atar chicken sandwich I had was the best sandwich I have ever had. Lovely staff and very good service.

The New Art Centre is a sculpture park and gallery set in over sixty acres of parkland in the Wiltshire countryside. We specialise in 20th and 21st century works of art that are on view both in the park and in prize-winning contemporary indoor spaces. We have longstanding relationships with the artists that we show, many of which stretch back over the past six decades. All works are for sale.
Fantastic sculpture park, well spread out so no social distancing issues, but compact enough to spend an hour or so wandering around. You currently need to book in advance but this process is easy. There are good, clean toilet facilities near the car park. Useful tip, when you arrive at the gates you need to drive up closer to the gates and they will open automatically. All in all a great day out!
