Now an English Heritage site, the ruins of Old Sarum represent the earliest settlement of Salisbury. It is not only an Iron Age fortification but was also a cathedral and a royal castle in its time, as well as a hub for both the secular and ecclesiastical government for nearly 2 centuries.

Combine with:
Old Sarum crosses 2000 years of history. From the ramparts you can see fantastic views of the current Salisbury Cathedral and look out across the Salisbury plains.
The oldest surviving stone structure was probably built around 1100-1135 and would have been the keep of the castle. Today the site comprises three points of interest which are made up of the earthworks of the Iron Age hillfort, the inner stronghold of the Norman castle at its centre and to the north west of the hillfort the remains of the cathedral, all set within the sweeping landscape of the Wiltshire Plains
