HISTORY, art and inspiring women will take centre stage in Salisbury next month as special guided walks are launched to mark English Tourism Week.

Salisbury Information Centre has teamed up with the Salisbury City Guides to host three themed tours exploring the city’s rich heritage.

The first walk, on March 14, focuses on 18th century artists John Constable and JMW Turner, tracing their time in the city and visiting the very spots they chose to paint.

On March 17, the spotlight turns to the famous Salisbury Water Meadows, offering visitors a closer look at one of England’s best-known meadow irrigation systems and how it works.

The final tour, on March 21, celebrates the Inspirational Women of Salisbury – sharing stories of women from across the centuries, from a medieval philanthropist to wartime heroines.

Each 90-minute tour begins at 2pm outside Salisbury Information Centre on Fish Row.

Tickets cost £14 for adults and £7 for students aged 12 to 18. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Places can be booked in person at the information centre or by calling 01722 342860.
