Salisbury Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Salisbury Cathedral can be seen for miles around and is the elaborate heart of this small and beautiful city. Renowned for its English Gothic architecture, the cathedral dates back to the 1200s and has the tallest church spire in the UK. Not only that, the cloisters and close are the largest in Britain.

Think that’s enough? Not for Salisbury. The cathedral is home to the most well-preserved of four copies of the Magna Carta and has a verge and foliot clock, one of the oldest working clocks in the world. The subject of several John Constable paintings, it’s a beautiful sight and surrounded by stunning historic buildings.

Drove Road

Highlight • Trail

This is used by Green Lane motorbikers so can get super rutted when it's soft going. you can sometimes duck through (unofficial tip) the racetrack to avoid a few bits. be prepared to walk and jump some of it. Not for the road tyres and custom carbon machines!

Old Shaftesbury Drove Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This beauty goes from Coombe Bisset all the way almost to Shaftesbury off road. It's used a fair amount by organised bike events, and also in the summer is full of other bikes and dog walkers. It is a traffic free gift for the off road cyclist though. This little section does suffer from being used as a fly tipping hotspot. Booo. In fact, from here all the way down to Coombe Bisset behind the race course has a tonne of fly tipping debris.
