Whether you're a serious aviation enthusiast or a kid who wants to sit in fast jet cockpits, this is for you! Please note - We are at Old Sarum Airfield - NOT at the Boscombe Down airfield.

What a fantastic place to get up close to a large part of Britain’s military aviation history Most of the cockpits are open and you are allowed to climb inside and use the controls The staff are very friendly and informative with anything you may want to know Recommended for kids of all ages(I’m 59) If you’re near Salisbury this is a must!

I had a fabulous day at Forest Falconry. Hanna and Stephen introduced us to many of their birds of prey, and they were very friendly and informative, we had hands-on flying the birds, I think my favourite was a white-faced Owl called Rafiki. I highly recommend this experience.

We really enjoyed the experience at Salisbury Escape Rooms, your facilities, plot, process and puzzles were so well thought out and designed with an amazing amount of variety and technology it certainly stretched the ability for any team to work collaboratively requiring lots of different skills and competencies.... so congratulations on the investment of time, money and resources to create this innovative experience. Many thanks to all involved..... brilliant !
5. Avebury Stone Circle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,291 reviews
This mysterious stone circle is thought to have been constructed in Neolithic times between 2500 to 2000 BC by The Beaker people, who might have played a major role in the formation of another eerie ancient site at Stonehenge.
Reviewed By F5904TEianm - Ashbourne, United Kingdom
In many ways more impressive than Stonehenge, and such a lot to see. It's great to get up close and walk amongst and indeed touch the stones, also a beautiful picturesque village with pub, church, manor house and museum barn. Easily enough for a half day, or perhaps a full day. If you enjoy walking and exploring our history, a 5 mile circuit also taking in Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long Barrow makes a full and fine day!

Nice 10-15 min walk from lay by mostly uphill to the Long Barrow which has large stones at the entrance where you can squeeze past to enter the chambers. It is very dark inside but can see several rooms branching off. Worth a look inside. Standing on the top of the site is a lovely view of Silbury Hill in the distance.
7. Iford Manor: The Peto Garden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 205 reviews
Internationally renowned, Grade 1 listed, Italianate gardens designed by Harold Peto, who made Iford his home from 1899-1933. Characterised by terraces, pools, statuary cloisters and remarkable rural views, the garden is an archetype of its period and a historic design gem. The present owners have restored and today maintain the historic gardens and the ethos of their original designer through modern borders blended with historic plantings, and today welcome visitors to their home five days a week, with coach visits available outside normal hours. A housekeeper's tearoom serves homemade cakes and light refreshments at weekends and there is a cake-of-the-day during weekdays at the entrance desk. The gardens are steeply terraced, partially accessible to disabled visitors, who are recommended to call ahead for assistance. The gardens are not well suited to children because of unfenced ponds and other hazards. The owners are keen to protect a tranquil environment for visitors.

It's not by chance we chose to move to Bradford-on-Avon - it's surrounded by beautiful places such as this! Albeit it's not a massive space, the grounds are stunning. We had one of the best experiences ever meeting one of their cats and him showing us around on my birthday. We really enjoyed the variety of the gardens, with an Asian themed area for example, and some quintessentially British parts etc. Visit at different times to enjoy different aspects for sure, and stop for a nice slice of cake and loose leaf teas if you get time.

This National Trust property benefits from its own beauty, informative room guides and a central and stunning location right in the cathedral close. It also is blissfully free from hordes of tourists so that one can truly appreciate the rooms at one's leisure. There are informative pamphlets as well as helpful volunteers in each room who are knowledgeable and welcoming. Delightful garden and team room at the back of the house. Not to be missed!
