I’ve just returned from a few days camping, a short riverside walk from the beautiful medieval city of Salisbury. These are just a few of the snaps I took on my phone.

Click once to enlarge pics, and twice to make them even larger!
The stunning Cathedral boasts Britain’s tallest spire, the largest Cathedral close and cloisters, the world’s oldest mechanical clock and the wonderfully preserved original 1215 Magna Carta.

It certainly is Steve. Thanks, matey.
A beautiful place.
Captivatingly so. Thanks, Sadje.
You’re welcome!
Wonderful photos! Thanks for sharing them.
Thank you, the pleasure’s mine, Patricia.
How fun and beautiful pics
It’s a magical place, Beth.
Great photos! It looks like you got the full experience. 🙂
I did, including two wonderful choral concerts in the cathedral.
You brought us to where you were with your photographs Keith
Thanks for joining me Michnavs!
Such a beautiful place! How i would love to visit a while.
If ever you find yourself over here, it’s a must!
How fabulous!! For us, it’s something straight out of a story book!
Thank you, it does have that look and feeling about it Lydia.
What wonderful photos! The church is incredibly intricate. And the town square. And the rivers. Wow.
It is an amazing building, hard to imagine how that built it centuries ago.
Hi Keith – I’ve never been, nor to Winchester … definitely missed out there. Excellent photos – loved them – great time you seemed to have had. Lovely to see the chalk stream/s … thanks such fun to see … cheers Hilary
I lived in Winchester for many years and still belong to the Friends of the Cathedral. I was in Salisbury mainly for the Southern Cathedrals Festival which is where the choirs of Winchester, Chichester and Salisbury come together and perform several concerts.
Must have been wonderful … so glad you were able to go down. Interesting to know you lived in Winchester for some years before moving up to Sussex … cheers Hilary
Beautiful photos!
Oh those strawberries for a pound!
Such a contrast to my first encounter with Salisbury in literature.
Matilda [Roald Dahl] had a TV dinner – one of the tastier ones was Salisbury steak.
They were very tasty! I had a steak in Salisbury too!
Are you serious??? What an amazing place to camp. So very wonderful.
It’s the third time I’ve camped there and it won’t be the last!
What a fun outing. It’s good to get away and relax for a bit. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂
It’s a great way to relax, especially as there was no wi-fi on the campsite – peace, perfect peace!
There was a time when I was close to Salisbury and wanted to visit. We ran out of time and didn’t get to go. The photos are great.
Thanks, Rose. If you’re ever close again, do visit, you won’t be disappointed!
Now I need to go to Salisbury for sure! orgeous photos!
You’d love it, I promise! Thanks, Kathe.
Your photos are always so clear and full of colour. I do like Salisbury a lot. We haven’t been since before the pandemic so I think it is time for another visit in 2 or 3 months time.
Thanks for your kind words, Jackie. I think you’re right!
You went there at the right time – great views of the church and the leftover arch of the old town/city wall. A fun parade, and I miss the European weekly open markets, at least they have some things to sell (here it’s one row of booths not worth visiting, and no veggies or clothes or antiques whatsoever – maybe I should investigate more in the center of Austin! A great summer post, Keith:)
Thanks, Emille. Apart from hitting a heatwave, it was perfect! This market is very large, I spent ages wandering around it
Great photos, Keith 🙂 I LOVE cathedrals as much as castles…and even ruins of either. I didn’t know about the 5 rivers–way cool!
Me too Staarlz! How they built them centuries ago without today’s technology and equipment s hard to imagine.
They seem to contain a life or spirit within which lives on and on.
Splendid images of a very beautiful place. I loved all these pics!
I’m pleased you enjoyed them Shiju, thank you.
Thanks for taking us along with you to Salisbury, Keith. Such a picturesque town. And quaint to boot.
Your camera surely takes some magnificent shots, and yes compliments to the person behind the lens too.
The cathedral, market, the rivers, the dancing; all makes me wish upon a star to be able to visit the gorgeous Salisbury some day.
Either ways my visit to New Castle Upon Tyne, where I lived as a kid is long over due. 🙂
I love how you carry a companion – a flowering pot, each time you go camping – this time a sunflower. :))
Thanks for your delightful comment, Natasha. So, you’re a bit of a Geordie, I had no idea! You’ve noticed my floral travelling companions! They always get commented on by my fellow campers!
Ah! Yes.:-)
And I went to Jesmond school. I was so chuffed to find their page on Facebook. I’m hardly on Facebook though, but I’d love to find my class teacher, Ms. Hall who truly believed in me before I could – some day soon.
There’s a post I’ll be writing about New Castle in the coming week. 🙂
I can’t miss your floral companions. It’s very endearing what you do. 🙂
Awesome! This would be a wonderful place to visit! 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Keith!
