Salisbury is one of England's finest medieval cities - but the real magic happens when you stay somewhere with character. Farthing Corner is a 15th-century thatched cottage B&B just 12 miles from the city centre, in Hampshire's peaceful Test Valley.
Getting to Salisbury
20 minutes by car
Direct route via country roads. Salisbury also has excellent train connections to London Waterloo (90 minutes) and the West Country.
Don't miss in Salisbury
Salisbury Cathedral
England's tallest spire (404ft) and one of only four original Magna Carta manuscripts. The Chapter House housing the Magna Carta is free to visit.
The Close
Britain's largest cathedral close - 80 acres of peaceful green surrounded by historic buildings. Perfect for an evening stroll.
Market Square
800-year-old market tradition continues every Tuesday and Saturday. Local produce, antiques, and the buzz of a proper English market town.
Old Sarum
Just north of the city - an Iron Age hillfort with the foundations of the original Norman cathedral. Views across Salisbury Plain.
Why stay at Farthing Corner?
Salisbury's charm is in its medieval streets and cathedral - but it's also a busy market town. After a day exploring, escape to our quiet corner of Hampshire. Our cottage predates the cathedral's spire by a century.
