Overview

There will be a 5 mile walk, crossing the Racecourse and then the Golf Course before finishing up at the Old Mill Inn, which has a garden backing onto the River Nedder.  For those in the party wanting a shorter walk there is a footpath from the city centre to the Old Mill, which takes approximately 30 minutes.  Salisbury is famous for its Cathedral and is a must see.  Also, there is a house once owned by Edward Heath called Arundells, which is highly recommended, although it may be best to book in advance.  It is situated near the cathedral and entry is £10 (HHA members free).
