Salisbury Cathedral Admission and the 1215 Magna Carta

Visit one of the most famous cathedrals in England, the Salisbury Cathedral, located on an 80-acre walled Close and see Britain’s tallest spire at 123 metres, dominating the skyline of Salisbury. A masterpiece of Gothic architecture, the cathedral took 38 years to build (1220-1258).

See the world’s oldest working mechanical clock, dating back to 1836 and the 1215 Magna Carta, the best preserved of only four surviving original exemplars. The 1215 Magna Carta is a UNESCO protected document and is permanently housed in the Cathedral’s 13th century stone carved Chapter House, depicting sixty Old Testament scenes.
