Spending the day in Salisbury
Welcome to Salisbury, a city where history and harmony come together. At Aster, we believe everyone deserves a place to call home, and through shared ownership, we’re helping people put down roots in one of England’s most inspiring cities.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a growing family, or simply looking for a fresh start, Salisbury’s shared ownership homes offer the perfect balance of affordability, community, and quality of life.
Read on to learn how to spend the perfect day in Salisbury and why you should consider making this area your new home.
Morning: start the day with a Cathedral and coffee
Begin your Salisbury adventure at Salisbury Cathedral, one of England’s most magnificent architectural landmarks. Its spire, the tallest in Britain, pierces the skyline at over 404 feet, while inside lies a priceless treasure: one of the four original Magna Carta manuscripts.
Stroll through Cathedral Close, an oasis of manicured lawns, ancient houses, and timeless calm. Pop into Mompesson House, a National Trust property featured in Sense & Sensibility, or enjoy a coffee at a nearby café while the cathedral bells chime in the distance.
From here, you’re moments away from Salisbury Museum, Arundells, and The Rifles Museum, all adding depth to this city’s remarkable story.
Midday: market magic & meadows
After soaking up the history, wander through the medieval streets lined with independent boutiques, artisan shops, and friendly pubs.
On Tuesdays and Saturdays, Salisbury’s Market Square comes alive, a colourful spectacle of local produce, crafts, and chatter. Stop for lunch at one of the independent eateries serving up fresh Wiltshire fare or enjoy riverside dining with cathedral views.
A short walk down the Town Path takes you through the tranquil water meadows, a short scenic route offering postcard-worthy views of the cathedral mirrored in the water. Living here, that view could be your everyday.
Afternoon: Old Sarum & Stonehenge, ancient wonders on your doorstep
Just north of the city lies Old Sarum, Salisbury’s original settlement. Climb its ancient ramparts, breathe the Wiltshire air, and you’ll see sweeping views of the modern city and its towering spire in the distance.
A short drive further takes you to Stonehenge, one of the world’s greatest prehistoric monuments , an easy trip that reminds you just how deep the roots of this region run.
Living in Salisbury means you’re surrounded by UNESCO-listed history, open countryside, and the quintessential charm of English rural life, yet still within easy reach of London, Bath, and the South Coast.
Evening: culture, cuisine & community spirit
As the sun sets, Salisbury shifts into a city of warm lights, live music, and laughter.
Catch a performance at the Salisbury Playhouse, browse contemporary art at Fisherton Mill, or dine at one of the city’s award-winning restaurants. From traditional pubs like The Haunch of Venison to modern favourites in the Market Place, there’s always a welcoming table waiting.
And when you call Salisbury home, this isn’t just a day out, it’s your everyday lifestyle.

Considering making Salisbury home?
One of the biggest reasons to move to Salisbury? It’s a desirable place to buy a home, especially through shared ownership.
Shared ownership allows you to purchase a share of a property, typically between 10% and 75%, and pay rent on the remaining portion. You can gradually increase your ownership share, making it a flexible and cost-effective solution.
Embarking on the shared ownership journey not only provides a foothold in the property market but also allows you to become part of Salisbury’s vibrant community. With its natural beauty and modern amenities, Salisbury is more than just a destination; it's a place to call home.
