Plan
for the day
|
The
drive to Salisbury is a long one so there will be a refreshment
stop en route. On arrival in Salisbury, we we will visit the wonderful
cathedral housing
the best remaining copy of the Magna Carta in existence. During
the day you have the option to join a free trip to Old Sarum, Old
Salisbury, overlooking the town.
Originally created by Iron Age people in about 500BC, it was later
occupied by Romans, Saxons and in 1070, William the Conqueror paid
off his army here. In
the late afternoon we depart for the journey back to Cambridge to
arrive early evening. |
