Salisbury is unique amongst medieval English cathedrals having been built in just 38 years (1220 – 1258) in a single architectural style, early English Gothic. The tower and spire (Britain's tallest) were added about 50 years later. The building itself is remarkable, a testimony to the faith and practical skills of those who erected it. But it is much more than a historical monument. It is a living church and a place of prayer. As the Cathedral Church of the Salisbury diocese it is Mother Church of several hundred parishes in Wiltshire and Dorset. It is also a centre of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.
Salisbury Cathedral is accessible from Salisbury High Street which is just a few minutes away from Cricket Field House. Opening times for visitors do vary according to the Season. You are advised to check times of accompanied tours which are run at frequent times throughout the summer. Check to see if there are any photographic restrictions in place.
