Salisbury & The New Forest Day Trip

Enjoy a full day excursion to Salisbury and the New Forest

Known as ‘the city in the countryside’, Salisbury is surrounded by a landscape so quintessentially English it’s almost too good to be true. If you pause on the edge of the water-meadows to take in the awesome sight of the Cathedral rising up from these lush green fields, it’s easy to understand why this was described as ‘Britain’s Best View’ by readers of Country Life magazine.

Within the Chapter House at Salisbury Cathedral you’ll find the best preserved of the four original Magna Carta manuscripts dating from 1215AD. 2015 marks the 800th anniversary of the signing of this momentous document and celebrations will be taking place throughout the year, prompting Lonely Planet to name Salisbury as one of the world’s Top 10 Cities to visit in 2015.

There are some beautiful villages in the New Forest to explore and you will get a chance to visit one on the return trip from Salisbury. Enjoy the surroundings, shops or cafe’s the choice is yours.

We vary the village depending on the time of year and events going on in the villages, but you can be sure of a lovely time.
