Stonehenge, the world’s most famous prehistoric stone circle, stands on Salisbury Plain a few miles north of Salisbury. Salisbury itself is a handsome cathedral city with the tallest spire in Britain and a copy of Magna Carta, and it is the best base for cheap hotels, pubs with rooms and B&Bs near the stones.
