  1. CW: Photo GeoLocation Project

    77% completed while wandering around Old Sarum on 6 Jun 2008. I'd seen Stonehenge earlier in the day and I was on my way back to Salisbury. Funny thing is, I remember almost nothing of my visit, just walking up to a green mound, through a gap, and up to another green mound inside. Fortunately I took pictures, which has allowed me to reconstruct my visit, during which I chased rabbits.

  6. NEW Bridge to OLD Sarum

    This wooden bridge to Old Sarum stretches lightly across the green hollow, as if inviting visitors to step from the present into the quiet remains of the past.

  25. Old Sarum was an Iron Age fort at the junction of several trade routes, then a Roman settlement, then an important early medieval town. The Normans built a castle and a cathedral there, and it was probably the site at which William I was presented with the Domesday Book.

    Lack of water on the top of the hill and bad relationships with the soldiers who garrisoned the fort led to the relocation of the Cathedral in the 13th Century, to New Sarum, now Salisbury. Old Sarum was gradually abandoned, and is now left to the grass and the rabbits.

    Legend says that the site for the new cathedral was chosen when an arrow was shot down into the valley, landing where the building now stands.

  30. From Salisbury, I walked out of town and took the Portway, part of a Roman road later used as a Medieval track, up to Old Sarum, the original ancient settlement of the area.

    It was lined with berry-laden hawthorn, blackberries past their best, rosehips, and flowering ivy, and humming with insect life, but I didn't see another person on it.
