ソールズベリーでののおすすめツーリングルート

The views from Old Sarum are highly praised and are one of the main reasons visitors come to the site. Because the castle is situated on a commanding hilltop, it offers sweeping and far-reaching views across the Wiltshire countryside. Wiltshire Countryside: You get unrivalled, expansive views over the surrounding Wiltshire plains and farmland. The ancient earthworks of the hillfort provide a perfect vantage point to take in the landscape. Modern Salisbury: From the inner castle ramparts, you can clearly see the city of Salisbury (sometimes called "New Sarum"), including the tall spire of Salisbury Cathedral in the distance. This visual link connects the historic, lost city on the hill with the modern city that grew from it. The Plains and Sky: The high, open position of Old Sarum makes it a great spot for enjoying the sky and weather, with many visitors noting the dramatic atmosphere or simply the pleasure of the open air. The ramparts, in particular, are described as the perfect place to explore on foot and take in these views. As one visitor noted, "You can see miles from the inner castle ramparts." Old Sarum itself is a historical marvel, layered with over 5,000 years of history, including an Iron Age hillfort, a Roman settlement, and the site of William the Conqueror's motte-and-bailey castle and the original Salisbury Cathedral. The views serve as a stunning backdrop to this significant historic site.

After Rain, in winter, muddy and slippery under foot. At least 45+mm tyres. I guess, this is a fantastic trail in summer.

Upper Woodford is a pretty village in the charming Woodford Valley. The Sarsen Way long-distance trail passes through the village, while the Monarch's Way skirts it to the south. Walkers are welcome in the local pub, the Bridge Inn, which serves traditional pub grub, has outdoor seating in its riverside garden and has a wood-burner for those chillier afternoons and evenings.

The cloister is a highlight The baptismal font and the courtyard are very beautiful
