The city of Gloucester has a fascinating history dating back to Roman times.
The small English city of Gloucester is justifiably proud of its long history. In the centre of town information boards give details of historical events and attractive modern mosaics on the pavements add a flavour of the past.
When we visited in early September they were celebrating Gloucester day which marks the end of the siege of Gloucester during the civil war and many people were in costume.
Salisbury is a small city in Wiltshire just eight miles from Stone Henge. The gothic cathedral boasts the highest spire in the U.K. and the best preserved copy of Magna Carta.
Salisbury is a beautiful medieval town in Wiltshire just eight miles from Stone Henge. It is chiefly famous for its magnificent early English gothic cathedral which has the highest spire in England and the best preserved copy of Magna Carta.Last Saturday our walking group met at Salisbury railway station and set out to explore the historic centre of the city. We began by walking along one of Salisbury’s five small rivers to find the water meadow where Constable painted his famous view of Salisbury cathedral. Unfortunately the trees have grown since and I could not find a hay cart or rainbow.
