Salisbury
is a bit of a rail hub with main lines and frequent trains going east
to London, south to Southampton and west to Bath and Bristol.
Salisbury's main role for visitors is as a gateway town to Stonehenge
about 10 miles north. There is now a Stonehenge Tour Bus that picks
up from Salisbury Station and goes to Stonehenge and Old
Sarum in a loop before returning to Salisbury itself. |
