Some Salisbury related links

I’ve spent a bit of time over the last couple of weeks on two fairly long posts – one on Neville Close, and one on Nelson Road.

Some Salisbury related web pages

In the course of ‘researching’ these and of general browsing on various RSS feeds, I’ve also come across the following, which may or may not be interesting:

This, on the building in Crane Street which used to be Salisbury workhouse:

The ‘Living River’ website, about the Avon and the other rivers that feed into it:

On a similar theme, there’s a more personal website here:

Some photos related to roads in Salisbury

I’ve added a bunch of photos that I’ve taken which relate to roads in Salisbury. These vary in quality from OK-ish to shockingly bad:

Salisbury stuff in the national press

There have been a couple of mentions of the attractions of Salisbury in the Guardian. The first recommending the Old Mill in Harnham as one of its top 200 summer pubs:

The Old Mill, Salisbury, Wiltshire | Life and style | The Observer

Regarding the walk, I would say myself that the walk to do is the route from Salisbury to Stonehenge. It’s about 10 miles through the Avon valley and it’s lovely, although crossing the A303 is both difficult and dangerous – I’ll write something more about this one day, but in the meantime this is an article about it from The Independent:

And finally….Gilbert the Dragon
