Old Sarum

We decided to do the 3km walk to ‘Old Sarum’. This was a picturesque trail, meandering through river paths and fields.

On this windswept hilltop a castle was built, and the first cathedral. There is still quite a lot of the castle ruins remaining, but very little of the cathedral. It cost us a total of $36 to look around, which we thought was a little steep for something that was there anyway.

As you can see from the below photos, little remains of the cathedral but you can see the outline.
