A short video wandering around the city of Salisbury in Wiltshire.
Salisbury is a cathedral city in Wiltshire, England with a population of 41,820. The city is approximately 20 miles (30 kilometres) from Southampton and 30 miles (50 kilometres) from Bath. Salisbury is in the southeast of Wiltshire, near the edge of Salisbury Plain. An ancient cathedral was north of the present city at Old Sarum. A new cathedral was built near the meeting of the rivers and a settlement grew up around it, which received a city charter in 1227 as New Sarum.
To hear more about the history of Old Sarum and how a cathedral was shifted down the hill, I recommend this video by Tom Scott:
