The ancient city of Salisbury offers the very best of town and country - bustling city centre, breathtaking countryside and lashings of community spirit. The historic city centre offers excellent shopping, eating, drinking and entertainment in a setting that couldn't be more picturesque, while the surroundings offer quintessential English countryside, great dog walks, cycle rides, country houses and other attractions to explore. Thanks to the abundance of cycle paths, bike shops and the largely flat city centre, the area is also markedly bike-friendly. There is a great choice of schools, lots of family friendly activities plus reliable bus services so older children can have a taste of independence. What's more, Salisbury is just 90 minutes drive or train ride from the capital, and boasts special pre-6am and late night commuter-friendly rail services. In short, Salisbury is not only beautiful and steeped in history, it's also family, commuter, cycle and dog friendly, making it a great place to raise children and a popular choice with both local people and those moving out of London.

Salisbury is a vibrant cathedral city with an historic heart. The town as we know it was laid out in a grid pattern around 1220, with a market at its centre. Soon after, work on Salisbury Cathedral began. In medieval times Salisbury was a popular stop between the west and channel ports, London and the West Country, but the main industry was wool making. By the 15th century, Salisbury became one of the largest towns in England with a population of around 8,000. Today it's home to nearer 40,000.
