Salisbury’s stunning 13th century Gothic cathedral has the tallest spire in the country.
The cathedral houses the best preserved of the four remaining original Magna Carta documents of 1215 and, with 2015 being the 800th anniversary of its original signing, celebrations are taking place throughout the year.
The cathedral is a unique learning environment and its education department provides a programme of curriculum-based experiential learning activities from foundation stage up.
