Salisbury is one of Britain's most beautifuland historic cities. From the peaceful lawns and stately houses of the Close to the lively commerce of the Market square, the streets are rich in architectural delights and haunted by the tales and legends that have been passed down through the centuries. For more than 700 years the city has been a spiritual and commercial centre for a region that extends for twenty miles in all directions; the local capital of Salisbury Plain, the Vale of Wardour, Cranborne Chase and parts of the New Forest. Such areas encompass some of England's finest countryside; a land of prehistoric monuments, historic mansions, hunting forests, farms and vilages. -- From cover.
