Salisbury
- Other Points Of Interest...
Salisbury
Museum
A
stone’s throw from Salisbury
Museum is Salisbury Museum – the museum is situated in the
charming Kings
House. There’s all sorts of historic information on Salisbury
including a lot
of information on Stonehenge (why it may have been built and by whom).
Wilton
House
Wilton
House has close ties to both
Henry VIII and William Herbert. Henry actually gifted Wilton House to
William in
1541 and the estate doesn’t disappoint, with grounds
stretching over 8
hectares and building interiors that boast awesome painted ceilings,
exquisite
hanged paintings and more. Surrounding the house are wonderfully
manicured
gardens. The house is about 2 miles west of Salisbury and is well worth
a visit
if you’re around long enough.
If
this interests you, there’s also
the pleasant Malmesbury House nearby –
built in the thirteenth century,
the house was the home of the first Earl of Malmesbury.
