Salisbury and Winchester Two Medieval Masterpieces

Salisbury and Winchester Two Medieval Masterpieces

In 2019, Salisbury won 'The Sunday Times' - 'best Places to live in Britain' award and not least for its 'historic good looks' and friendliness.

Another regular contender which also boasts an exceptional Cathedral is Winchester which is loved by the paper because it is 'clever, cultured and convenient'.

They are not that far apart and yet two of the best cities in England within easy reach of London and ideal for a varied day trip of parallels and contrasts.
