Old Sarum Ruins

Highlight • Settlement

"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.

Narrow Trail to Old Sarum

Highlight • Trail

This fun section of trail is narrow and technical in places with rocks and roots. In summer, you can expect to earn a fair few nettle stings as you ride but nothing too major. This path leads onto some wonderful gravel tracks that take you all the way to Old Sarum prehistoric hill fort.
