Salisbury Cathedral

Absolutely spectacular.

Pictures will not do the cathedral in Salisbury justice. The building is almost 800 years old and is definitely the biggest church I have ever been to. Yesterday, we went to the 840 year-old St. Mary’s Church in Melton Mowbray and thought it was amazing. Today, we visited the famous Salisbury Cathedral and discovered what amazing really is. Unless I see a better cathedral while in England, I’m going to have you put Salisbury Cathedral on your must-see list.

As a bonus, it houses one of the 4 copies of the Magna Carta, the best preserved of the 4.

As a double bonus, Salisbury Cathedral isn’t just a tourist sight, it is a working church. Stay there until 5:30 and partake in their evensong service. Every evening. The singing was magnificent.
We went to Avebury Stones and Stonehenge today, and Salisbury Cathedral was my favorite part.
