Plenty of interest in the village... pretty buildings, church. Below average pubs. You know you are in trouble when Wetherspoons it head and shoulders the best.

"Discover the story of the original Salisbury and take the family for an action-packed day out at Old Sarum. Stand in the footprint of Salisbury's first cathedral, conquer the ruins of the royal castle, and discover the awe-inspiring landscape where it all began. One of the South’s most significant historic sites – William the Conqueror once hosted a great gathering at Old Sarum. Soak up the atmosphere as you explore a city lost to time. There’s over 2,000 years of history to discover, as well as unrivalled views across the Wiltshire countryside. (Text from https://www.visitwiltshire.co.uk/salisbury/things-to-do/old-sarum-p133943 )

Paddington has been seated on a bench on Fisherton Street, outside The former General Infirmary, sporting his signature red hat, blue duffle coat, and a marmalade sandwich in paw. Great spot for a selfie.
