History
Salisbury grew beside medieval trade routes; its cathedral (13th century) and nearby Stonehenge (Neolithic) reflect layers of human history in a compact area.
Conservation
Stick to marked footpaths to protect fragile chalk grassland and follow signage around protected monuments; small-group, self-guided visits reduce pressure on guided-tour peaks.
