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.

Despite the seemingly unpromising name, "Nomansland" is a fine village along the boundaries of the Hampshire and Wiltshire county borders. Nowadays this runs along this road in front of the Lamb Inn. Local legend has it that the border formerly ran through the pub itself and as closing time was earlier in Hampshire, there was a quick move into the Wiltshire bar to get extra drinking time at the end of the evening! New Forest ponies also visit for refreshment and can be found grazing on the green alongside the road.

Lovely pub in the village too. Seating at the front so you can keep an eye on your pride and joy.
