Amongst the green open space of Salisbury Plain you’ll find one of Britain’s most ancient and famous monument: the world heritage site of Stonehenge. Nearby is the lesser known, but equally historic, Avebury stone circle or you could visit the Iron-Age hill fort of Old Sarum. Elsewhere you can take the kids to Longleat Safari Park or seek out faux Greek temples in Stourhead’s beautiful landscaped gardens (stunning in summer and autumn).
