Salisbury

Learn English in Salisbury - known as 'The city in the countryside', the magnificent medieval city of Salisbury has it all: historic streets and alleyways, charming half-timbered buildings, traditional English eating houses and characterful shopping streets, not to mention a superb range of attractions, including the UK's finest medieval cathedral.

Salisbury Cathedral offers one superlative after another, from the tallest spire in Britain and Europe's oldest working clock to the world's best-preserved Magna Carta. It stands in the largest medieval close in Britain, where you will also find award-winning museums and a superb National Trust property.

Salisbury's individual shops are complemented by regular street markets and there's a great choice of arts and cultural venues too. Don't miss a stroll along the Town Path across the water-meadows - the awe-inspiring sight of the Cathedral rising up from these lush, green fields has been described as 'Britain's best view'!

Salisbury is just 40km from Stonehenge - Britain's Best Historic Site. Stonehenge has recently been voted 'Britain's Best Historic Site' by viewers of the UK TV History Channel.
