The main attraction in Salisbury is the Cathedral. I have found that every major cathedral boasts something special - the longest aisle, the most royal weddings, the oldest crypt, etc. This one has the tallest spire in England, at 404 feet (yes, I had to Google that to remember).
The inside of this one photographed well. I don't know if maybe it was just better light than others, or maybe the right time of day? But I think they turned out well!
They have a very modern baptistery right in the middle of the center aisle. This is a full submersion tank, although the reflection of the ceiling is so beautiful, you can't even tell it has depth.
This is looking towards the spire from the cloisters.
Just off this hallway in the cloisters is a small museum that holds one of the four original copies of Magna Carta. This is thought to be the best preserved copy, as it was "lost" and not on display for several hundred years. We were able to view it, but no pictures were allowed inside.
