    Hiking

    The Walking Madonna is one of the best-known modern sculptures on the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral. It was created in 1981 by the British sculptor Dame Elisabeth Frink and depicts a life-size bronze Madonna.

    Particularly noteworthy is its placement:

    1. The figure stands at eye level with visitors and not elevated on a pedestal.
    2. It walks away from the cathedral, in the direction of the town.
    3. This makes her appear as a human among humans and symbolizes the mission to carry faith and compassion out into the world.
