Of course, the main attraction of the town is its cathedral, usually referred to as Salisbury Cathedral, but more correctly named as the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and has welcomed visitors for over 750 years. It took a mere 38 years to build, and has the tallest spire in the UK, at 404 feet (123 metres).
Having viewed the interior of the cathedral (the entry of which is still free of charge), and taken time out for a double chocolate-chip muffin and coffee, consumed next to the cloisters - also the largest in Britain (the cloisters, not the muffins) - it was time for some exterior shots.
We shared a camera and lens on this occasion, both seeking suitable angles to show the fine example of Early English architecture to its best advantage, and it is this view from the north-west - sought out by Nic - that I include here.
