London to Salisbury by Rail
Salisbury Cathedral sits on an 80-acre walled Close and is situated around a 1 hour drive from London. The Cathedral is an early English example of Gothic architecture and was built over a 38 year period between 1220 and 1258. Here, you can view Britain’s tallest spire at 123 metres and the world’s oldest working mechanical clock, dating back to 1836.
1215 Magna CartaSalisbury Cathedral houses the finest surviving of the worlds remaining four versions of the great charter, more famously known as the 1215 Magna Carta. The Magna Carta is a UNESCO protected document and is permanently housed in the Cathedral’s 13th century stone carved Chapter House, which depicts sixty Old Testament scenes. The Magna Carta is a legal document that was issued by King John in June 1215, to outline certain rights of individuals. It has over 60 clauses, covering many areas of the nation’s life, including the right to a fair trial.

Your Driver ( Mr .Ian ) Have been very helpful can you passed a massage we thinking of him.
In the down side: sometime you take time to reply the question. But in other hand I understand that you’re busy and we asked something that you not do on the tour.”
“Before the trip to England I’m very concerned because our first trip and many people ( 6 of us). After talk to Nok , she very good advice and very helpful make us feel more relaxed and confidence even we didn’t decide yet to use her service . When we arrived to England all the service was perfect. The driver pick us up on time and helping with the luggage and advice a lot for the trip. You and your Company is full with service mind. You make customer feel like the family instead of business. I wish you company get more successful and we will use your service again for sure.
In the down side I don’t have it because it better more than we expected.”
