A coach eases out of the Port of Southampton and the English coast unfurls: low hedgerows, patchwork fields and villages with stone walls. Within an hour the vehicle pulls into Salisbury and you step beneath St Ann’s Gate, the pavement echoing with centuries of footsteps while the cathedral’s spire slices a clear line into the sky.
