Off to Salisbury for the day soon... What is there to do for a couple of people and a doggo in tow.
We'd like a short walk or 2 and somewhere comfy to sit, chat, drink coffee and maybe play a board game.
We did the cathedral last time, so don't really need to see it again.
I have looked on Google maps but I thought people might have some good suggestions.
Thanks lovelies  |

"Fucking hell. Nobody mentioned England’s most impressive cathedral or Old Sarum yet?
Just steer clear of novichok park"
That’s because the OP already stated they had visited the cathedral on a previous visit and didn’t need to see it again. |

I wouldn't bother with stone henge although you can see it from the a303 so worth a drive past 
Depends what you're interested in... there's the army flying museum in the wallops somewhere...I seem to recall they have a cafe overlooking the airfield for somewhere different. |

We'll be in the town centre, I'm not bothered about a bunch of stones either lol |

"I don't know anything about sightseeing in Salisbury, but I can tell you that the cathedral has had the tallest church spire in the United Kingdom, at 404 feet (123 m) "
That'll be handy if there's a test at the end of the day |

The walk through the park and up to sub castle is okay if you want to wear the dog out - park on the opposite side of Salisbury to where you come in from Southampton
Someone else has already mentioned it but out the back of Salisbury past the railway station to harnham mill (nice pub that used to do really good food)
Shopping in general and just wandering around the town is quite pleasant and you can do worse than parking yourself next to the river near the bishops mill |

Thanks, we did see the river on our way out of town, so it's definitely on the list of things to go look at. |
