3 Best Places To Visit in Salisbury, UK

National Trust properties never fail, first day after the winter closure the people at the entrance very friendly and helpful. The little tearoom served beautiful lunches made fresh to order had a good selection of cakes. They have a gorgeous collection of old china. Nothing beats a cuppa from a cup and saucer. There is seating inside and outside with the latter looking over the garden. There were vases of fresh flowers everywhere, they smelt wonderful. House tastefully restored, for me in the dining room there is an amazing collection of glasses, just stunning. Worth the visit just to see them. The stems are gorgeous all from around 1700.

Nice meet and greeter on entry and helpful, informative guides in the rooms. A lovely house with a lot of character and interesting artefacts. The first NT place I could see myself living in. Peaceful garden, nice bookshop and a pleasant cafe. Really enjoyed this one.

Great National Trust property, opposite Salisbury Cathedral. No parking on site, we used a car park about 5 mins walk away. The volunteers were very informative, definately worth a visit, very small garden though, cafe and second hand book shop.

I came here to see the Amesbury Archer and ended up spending nearly three hours in the Wessex gallery. This museum holds incredible treasures from the nearby ancient landscape, I don't understand why was it so empty (though I was also relieved I didn't need to share it with crowds). I love that the exhibition focuses not only on the incredible finds, but also places them into context, and also adds valuable information about early antiquarians who uncovered many of the objects on display. Wonderful and very helpful staff. 10/10, even though I live across the country I will probably come back at some point when the museum fully reopens.

I went to see the Sir Terry Pratchett exhibition and loved every moment of it. It is an absolute MUST for all Terry fans. It was beautiful, witty and embracing. I wanted to see the rest of the museum but due to my disabilities and the fact that I spent over 3 hours just gazing and regazing at all the Terry Pratchett gems that we wouldn't fit it all in. The staff are fabulous and I am looking forward to going back to see the rest of the museum. This is the nicest museum, with the nicest people, that I have ever been to.

This museum is truly awe-inspiring with its vast array of exhibits. It is home to some of the world's most ancient artifacts. The volunteers, namely Nigel and Rob, were well-informed and offered comprehensive insights into the collections. It is highly recommended to visit this museum following your trip to the cathedral.
