The Spire (part 3)

Continuation of The Spire (part 2) concerning the Salisbury Cathedral Tower Tour.

And so, from the highest visitable level at the top of the tower, the base of the spire, there are doors that take you out to balconies on the faces of the tower.

Looking up the spire

West view, looking down on nave roof

North view, looking over cathedral green

South view - Chapter House, which stores a Magna Carta copy

South view over Cloister

East view: over Bishop Wordsworth School to New Forest in the distance

South view - Salisbury Cathedral School

North view - cathedral close and Salisbury centre

North view - looking north-west

West view - looking south-west

East view - looking down

It's a spectacular view in itself, but with also the meanderings through the innards of the cathedral to get to it, this is the best £10 I've spent for a long time. I cannot recommend it enough. The link again as it's strongly advisable to book in advance: Salisbury Cathedral Tower Tours.
