The 25 best parks and gardens in Salisbury

A nice riverside park to walk, sit and have a picnic. Parking can be tricky to get into due to awful Salisbury traffic, but, if you get a space it's free for 2 hours.

Nice park, with coffee horse box and bistro tables and chairs. Skate park and kids play area and ample parking.

Had a fun visit with grandson even though many parts were still under flood water. There is a small zip line , climbing frames. Free standing cross trainer and leg extensions apparatus. There is a skate park also. There are some lovely old specimen willow trees along the edges and the sun was shining for a changem

Good circular riverside walk complete with skatepark, parkour, basketball/football court and play parks. Small hot drink and food trailer with toilets nearby. Car park is free, not suitable for large vehicles due to restrictions.

Beautiful park, skate park for bikers skate boards and scooters. Play park both ends of the park. Coffee hut there most of the time.

Looks like a lovely park. I went to see the production of The Tempest which was held in various places in the park. It's a very getaway place with lots of mature trees. Quite a place and very close the Salisbury city centre.

It was nice to have a stroll with my wife somewhere we hadn't been since the kids started school. Just killed time with my dad in his wheelchair until it was time to meet the daughter from work. Place had changed but still orientated for the whole community.

A great secret spot to go for a wild swim, even local Salisbury people are surprised when they find this beautiful river spot.

Beautiful local area with wonderful views across the water Meadows to the Cathedral. Football pitch, dog walking, information points, mini nature reserve and peace and quiet. Marvellous!

Wonderful expanse of meadow and woods. Free. Dog friendly. Unrestricted parking close by.

Football training with the Barford hornets, nice pitch quite surroundings..... 8 outta 10. 👍⚽️😷

It was very beautiful there, nice clear open space to relax and chill with mates on a hot day

Lovely walk by the river. Its ours, look after it!

Great place for a walk

Always love walking here. The area has also been tidied up with more benches to appreciate the beauty of the nature. It is free, no entry fee

Lovely little walk along the river and an added bonus of a lush field where the dogs could run around and dry off after an impromptu dip in the river.

Lovely walk along the river , Watching the kingfishers and the fish jumping out the water , kids playing on a very hot day , Plenty of benches if you can only walk short distances cuckoo's beautiful

Excellent and peaceful area for a stroll or dog walk

Good place for walking with family

Beautiful spot that you can take a refreshing dip in the river.

Beautiful peaceful walk. Very dog off the lead friendly.

Absolutely fascinating, a chance to see the man as well as the politician. The story of the man away from politics, his wartime experiences, music & travel were all fascinating. The volunteer were very informative adding a little more information in Ted Heath's character and what it was like for him when he lived at Arundells.

A very happy experience last Thursday on a wet and miserable June day. The entry for house and garden was reasonable, £10, especially as the ticket is valued for entry for another 12 months. As many reviewers have said, the room stewards were very knowledgeable and welcoming. Lots of reading material in each room and fascinating facts to learn. Particularly interesting was the room containing information about Heath’s war record. His books, music, paintings and sporting achievements indicate an erudite Prime Minister worthy of his position.

The former home of Prime Minister Edward Heath. His last residence, filled with lots of photos and his collections. Great room guides sharing the history. The garden is quite tranquil. It cost us £10 each to enter and has a small souvenirs. Worth it though for the upkeep.

Lovely Georgian house, inside has been modernised but some aspects remain. Inside is all about ex PM Edward Heath and the items he collected or was presented when in office. Lovely garden runs out to the river and there's part of his yacht with a tragic tale.

Looks good 👍 from the outside unfortunately couldn't afford to go in this time no money but got some photos disabled accessible toilets in and outside cathedral parking very tricky brilliant views

Beautiful, historic house of a true statesman. Lovely stewards, very friendly and helpfull

Absolutely fascinating house with wonderful volunteers. Steeped in history and as Ted Heath left it full of his possessions including paintings, photos, books, his piano and gifts from all the dignitaries that he met. The garden is beautiful. It was a privilege being able to visit this house and gardens.

Wonderful campsite on the outskirts of Salisbury. With lots of nearby sightseeing and historical interests. Well kept site and really friendly Wardens.

A lovely walk around Old Sarum with stunning views across Salisbury Plain and Salisbury City. Lots of space for the Children to run around, climb and go crazy while the parents appreciate the historic value.

Lovely big open space. Bootcamps and circus and more uses area and still plenty space. And parking available

This sight is immaculate. Amazing views. Luvly staff very helpful. Beautifully kept grounds. Shower block is pristine. The castle is within five minutes walk. We have dogs and there is so much freedom for them. You can see the cathedral from the site. Well worth a visit

It's a great space at the edge of Salisbury to take a walk. You can gain access to Old Sarum Castle ramparts and get some glorious views of the city. If time permits, you can pop into the castle for a little history, old William the Conqueror got the dooms day book there.

A great open space. Always buzzing with activities and great views of old sarum castle and the city

Nice large green area made of acres of fields cut nicely. Easy to access and not to busy as out of town.

Great open space to walk play rest picnic run - follow it to the Old Mill Hotel Pub and restaurant and continue the walk across Town Path to Elizabeth Gardens another beautiful landmark famous for its painting by Constable! Follow on to the beautiful Salisbury Cathedral which has the tallest spire in Europe! Lovely coffee shops cafes restaurants 😋

Nice big area, good for dog walking and general fun.

A beautiful setting for an evening river walk! Your footsteps will be in the shadow of The Cathedral as your walk takes you along the riverbank with wonderful views across ancient water meadows. Finish your stroll at the door into the bar of The Old Mill Hotel. Marvellous! 👍🍻🥂

This is quite a large field next to the river which is great to let your dogs off lead and the dogs can then cool off and play in the river. It's also a great place for a picnic. Nice and quiet and out of the way of all the hussle and bussle. A short walk to a large carpark which has toilets. And a short walk into Town.

Beautiful space, unbelievable views, swimmable river.

Our home pitch, it's lovely, of course...home of The Village Inn Cricket Club! Great setting with the river running round it and a superb view of Salisbury Cathedral... You can stroll around the cricket pitch, follow the river to the Old Mill Inn and then along Town Path in to Elizabeth Gardens and finally in to Central Salisbury. No more the 20 minutes walk.

One my favourite places to walk especially early in the morning.

I went for a walk along the boardwalk by the river with my minded children and they had a great time spotting the fairy houses and practicing numbers. We released some tadpoles into the stream as so many hatched from the frogspawn we had collected abut a month earlier. Then we stopped at an assessable bay where there was a seat and a safe place for the children to fish and play with toys in the river. We walked back and ended up at the park. There are toilets beside the field.

Love taking a walk here. Dog walkers are obviously responsible and respectful as there were a few dogs but no mess. The Council have up-kept the grounds and the walkways. The river is clean and full of wildlife. A very pleasant walk at anytime of the year.

Enjoyed a lovely walk with my elderly dog. Grounds are well kept and good to see people out and about enjoying the fresh air.

Well was nice but all work going on tree cut of stream near play area being work Let's hope it come out good as with most of salisbury so call up grade never really work

Lovely half hour walk on boarded path alongside river. Peaceful but not too remote.

Fab, much improved since Salisbury City Council took it on. Lovely atmosphere, near by amenities. Aces.

Small open space. Much used by dog walkers, as a result unsuitable for other users.

Lovely modern museum, good lighting and layout. Many exhibits, in fact the better than the interior exhibition at Stonehenge by some margin. Neolithic era and Bronze age exhibits. Its holding many of the pieces from all the famous local sites including the Amesbury archer. And the Salisbury drainage collection of lost personal items is excellent. Multiple eras covered all presented in a modern way. Recommended.

Excellent museum, very well laid out and informative. Child friendly with plenty to keep the young ones engaged. A great half day visit, a whole day if combined with the cathedral. Would highly recommend.

Their Wessex gallery takes you back in time to the Stone Age. My favourite item is a jade axe head: perfectly formed, with a polished finish, yet about 6000 years old. In another part of the museum, learn about local spitfire manufacture during WW2. And there's loads more... Currently there is a small but excellent exhibition about Elizabeth Frink showing something of her life, a few pieces of smaller scale sculpture and her 2D art work. If the weather is good you can have coffee and cake on the front lawn with a excellent view of the cathedral. Well worth a visit, in fact worth several visits.

Fabulous collection of local artefacts. Anglo Saxon, Roman, Bronze and Iron ages. Some fascinating reconstituted burials with grave goods. All set in a lovely environmentally controlled building in the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral. Well worth a visit.

I had such a fantastic experience at the Salisbury Museum! The museum is beautifully laid out, well-structured, and packed with fascinating things to see – I ended up spending around three hours there because there was so much history to take in, and it honestly surprised me how engaging it all was. The volunteers and staff are absolutely wonderful – friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. They’re more than happy to guide you through the exhibits and share the stories behind the history, which really brought everything to life. I felt genuinely proud to have moved here and to be able to support such an amazing museum. If you’re as lucky as I was, you might get to meet Nigel – he was brilliant, taking the time to explain many of the displays in a really engaging way. It made the visit even more memorable. The museum also has a lovely café and a gift shop, which was the perfect way to finish the visit with a tea and a snack. It’s very family-friendly too, with activities to keep children entertained. I can’t recommend this museum enough – it’s a must-visit in Salisbury!

Excellent museum with soooooo many finds in the local area and a comprehensive look at the history of Salisbury. We had 75mins, but needed more. Only open till 4 in winter. Nice cafe, friendly staff. I reckon it'll take 2hrs or more to take time to look round. Wish I had more time.

The Museum boasts an incredible array of artefacts from throughout our history. We were surprised (pleasantly) at the care that has gone into the design of the galleries, which ensures that the Disabled or people short of sight/hearing are catered for. From low information boards, to well laid-out exhibits, as well as seats throughout the galleries. The level of thought that has gone into ensuring that people from minority groups are represented through fact-checking and getting outside opinions is incredible. Our visit to the Museum was only let down by the cafe. While their menu is certainly unique from other museum cafes, with an all-day breakfast and toasted bagels, as well as a fish finger brioche bun, quiche, and chilli con carne, the lack of vegan options is stark. From a menu which isn't labelled at all for allergy and dietary requirement, to unclear options for sandwiches, toasties and jacket potato fillings, I was the only let down member of my party, with only a bag of crisps to satisfy me, while my group had full lunches. A review from 2017 on TripAdvisor also lists this problem, so it would be good if reviews could be checked, and adequate steps are made to ensure that all Dietary Requirements are catered from (even if it is just a generic vegan cheese toastie). This won't stop us from revisiting the museum by any means, but we will certainly have to rethink our plans on what to eat while we visit. Top marks to the Museum, but the Cafe needs work.

A Bright & Bustling Market, I highly recommend for a huge variety of Healthy Foods, Herbs, Spices and Coffee. Plus, Hats, Books and Hardware...and so much more! There are a number of cafes and eateries with outside seating that Overlook to rest those tired legs.

Tuesday is Salisbury market day where you will find plenty of stalls with everything from clothes, toys, local produce etc. Looks popular as was quite busy when I visited recently

More than just a market in Summer time. Kids play areas. World food stalls. Relatively large market as local markets go in this area of the country. Market stalls are not just in the Square, you will find stalls by the streams too.

Lovely place, busy on Saturday but not crowded

First visit in a good few years. Good selection of stools and street food. Well priced and great for a browse round on a nice day. The kids enjoyed the toy stool and the sweets, the fruit is a bargain after lunch. Defo worth a visit and some nice local cafes in the market square if you want to stop fo a coffee.

Lots of different stalls to looks around, butchers sell meats and cheeses, clothing, fruit & veg stalls, coffee stands and fast food. All is clean and tidy

A great market, people so friendly everything was reasonably priced and good value for money. The vegetables very fresh.

No such thing as 'the big screen' in this odeon. Would've absolutely seemed bigger waiting for the film to come out and watch it at home! Love the old building though, hence the additional star

An amazing building, great place to experience a film. Run of the mill seating, comfortable and clean. Not accessable friendly. Two flights of stairs to get into auditorium. No nearby parking.

Really nice complex, kept the character of high ceilings and open beams. Only issue is one of the screens is so far away, think screen 5. It's terrible, may as well watch it at home. Doesn't give the cinema experience at all so be cautious what screen you book into as the others are ok.

As a local cinema in a wonderful building it could be a great experience, but the last few times I’ve regretted it and most recently, walked out 15 minutes into the F1 movie. The sole reason being that the chairs are terribly uncomfortable and in the case of the F1 movie I wanted to enjoy it but it was WAY too loud, to the point the audio was distorted. I left and will visit another cinema where I can enjoy the movie to its potential. I can’t fault the staff here as on every visit they’ve always been friendly and attentive, but the aging furnishings let it down.

No surround sound which is shocking. Stereo audio. Definitely not odeon cinema quality. Place needs a revamp. We were in screen 1, screen is so small, people sitting further back might have as well been in a living room. Hard to believe this is part of the odeon group. We could also hear sounds from a movie in the room next-door, never great when watching a horror movie. Odeon, put some money into this place and upgrade it!

Do not book online !! They charge you extra . It says it is cheaper to book online but that is an utter lie .. they charge 2 pounds extra online as a ( online fee) which makes absolutely no sense as it should save them money. And also when u pay online an issue occurs where they charge you for the tickets and the seats get booked up so when u go back to try get the same nice seats they are booked . And it seams like a refund of un used tickets are out of the question

It's not a great cinema, 3 stars is me being kind. If you are an avid film lover I don't think it gives you the classic experience we've become accustomed to. The old building, as beautiful as it is historically it isn't suitable as a cinema at all. Why they decided on this venue as a cinema is entirely baffling. The screens are very small, awkward, and very far away from seats, why they hung the screens at the back of the original staging area instead of the front is bizarre too. If you buy standard the view is terrible, parts of the screen isn't even viewable as its so far back in the stage and you are sat so low, there is zero warning about this. No modifications for it to be a cinema, its was designed for actors to stand on the stage. No matter where you're sat you should be able to see all the images. This is very poor service. Not to mention if someone sits in front of you, that's it....you can't see anything as most screens don't have tiered seating in standard so you have a head in your view the whole film?! Luckily there have been places for me to discreetly move to, but if it was a popular film, or I was blocked in, I'd not have this option. The audio sounds distant and the general enjoyment of the film is marred as you feel like your in a village hall watching a projector rather than at a big chain cinema with dolby. I guess that's why tge cheap tickets are 5 pounds. That's the only reason why I still go to be honest as im poor, if they charged full value for such poor offerings I would go at all. The staff are polite and attentive, I found the facilities, though clean, very outdated and desperate for some much needed modernisation desperatly needs some love and care a bit of sprucing up. Parking in the area is good, £1.90 all day on a sunday! Bonus! Disabled directly opposite very good! However I wouldn't recommend this cinema for disabled, very awkward, lots of stairs, 2 flights to get to the top tiny screens that are so small you might as well watch at home. The smallest screen has its own toilet, you'd think that was a good thing, guess again... it in the actual screen??? This is madness. You have to endure the entire row standing up to let someone out then back in cause its cramp, then the cinema screen is not viewable as the lights from the toilets reflect on to the cinema screen?! I watch a rerelease of star wars and had this terrible experience the entire film. You could feel the annoyance from everyone. Everytime the toilet door opened, the lights blocked the projection then 2 mins later opened again when the user Finnish thier business, only to be opened yet again by the next patron! Who designed this ridiculous design needs to be fired. As usual the food is increasingly expensive and not worth it for such small amounts. £4 for 100g of sweets?!These cinema will never learn to make money things need to be affordable and reflective of what your buying. In a day where the cinema is dying out it is a shame that I have to drive 50min to get to a cinema, I will still support my "local" cinema, if you can even call it that. But feel there is a lot more odeon has to do ro win the masses back.

Just lovely place to go for a walk if your lucky you’ll see a slow worm or some beautiful orchids

A great open space to.take a ramble. Used by many, lots of paths, birds and wild flowers. A great resource for use by all. A dog walkers dream, but you need to.consuder others if taking your dogs out, keep.them.in control- please. Nice area for a picnic, or just a catch up.

Love this space to walk the dog. Close to the city yet fabulous rural views.

A lovely place for a walk but please clean up after your dog. There was an awful lot of dog mess in the middle of paths and on the edges today. Selfish and inconsiderate of people.

Great for dog walks and the mud jumps are great fun on your bike. Built many years ago by some volunteers. I've recently cut to get kids using it again!

Lovely space to walk through. Whatever the season, and the weather, the space is crammed with a broad and diverse variety of flora situated along meandering natural pathways. When wet, boots are recommended!

Great open space, ideal for a short walk awesome for pets to run about in, plus a huge field at the top to continue walking should you feel the need for a more challenging walk

A lovely little theatre in Salisbury, tucked away on Ashley Road, I watched mu first performance here, "Noises Off" which was hilarious and so cleverly done with the set changes and an extremely talented cast. I will definitely return!

This may be termed as an 'amateur' theatre but you would not know this by the standard of their shows... productions are highly professional standards - arguably better. Plays are varied and not just 'bums-on-seats' run-of-the-mill stuff. The venue is 'intimate' to say the least, as the audience sits right up to and on the stage. Highly recommended if you can get a seat... book early to catch early bird tickets. Capacity is only 90 seats and they sell out often!

A lovely theatre in Salisbury. A more intimate stage with approx 90 seats. We performed here recently and the building was great to work in. Everyone we met was so helpful and made us really welcome. I would recommend visiting and/or hiring this venue. Overall a great place to visit if you get a chance.👍

My first visit, was gifted a ticket. Hilarious play, lots of set changes, comfortable seat in a small auditorium. As an amateur set up, there a lots of enthusiastic helpers. Just loved the whole atmosphere & camaraderie. Will definitely attend again.

Great theatre in town! Beautiful inside. Check out upcoming plays by talented local actors and actresses. The staff were so friendly and inviting.

This was a personal tour by a family member. What a great place, all ran by volunteers in their own time. I only wish that we were in Salisbury longer to have seen one of the many amazing shows that get put on here. If you are ever in the area, try, try, try to see one of the shows to keep this amazing place full of joy and laughter.

First time visit, watched Jane Eyre and through ally enjoyed the performance. Very well cast and acted just a pity I don't live it Salisbury so that I could experience more. A massive thank you for a very enjoyable evening.

Fabulous morning looking round the cathedral! Beautiful, so much history. Magna Carta was fantastic. The cafe is amazing, wonderful food, GREAT coffee and the homemade shortbread is to die for!! But the view of the spire through the glass roof is inspired! Our whippet had a great run round outside admiring the view before we went in, huge safe area between the cathedral and the car park. Will be back, especially as you can visit the cafe without going into the cathedral. Really highly recommend a visit.

Wonderful visit. £2 cheaper if you book online. £11 instead of £13. Spent a good hour and a half wLking round. Lots of information boards. Talk on the clock fascinating. All the cathedral guides well knowledgeable and informative. Cafe has meals and snacks, nor cheap though. Two teas and a bicci £9.50! Lots to become absorbed in. Well worth a visit. Didn't have time for tours. We parked at long stay car park £7.50 for 5 hours.

This is a fantastic place to come and view an amazing building. There is a lot to see and learn about. The staff and volunteers were all very nice and helpful. Magna Carter was a fascinating object to see. The refectory and gift shop were a pleasing addition. Well worth the entry fee.

The chapter housed the magna carta and had boards you could walk around with which explained what all the carvings were, what a great idea. We stayed about 2 hours because of parking but you could spend all day there. The price of admission allows you to visit as many times as you want for 12 months.

Beautiful cathedral. The tower tour is amazing. I am claustrophobic and it’s fine as the staircases are in open spaces so you are not closed in. Amazing views from the top and the guides are brilliant. Very peaceful surroundings.

Wow, the people here are SO nice, especially the gate agent entering the grounds! He didn't charge us because we just wanted to stop and snap a picture. He not only gave us a super easy/quick place to park, he opened the bathrooms for us!!! AND, he gave us some interesting history of the cathedral's construction (built over a watersoaked gravel bed). Oh, and the Cathedral is gorgeous from the outside - didn't go inside. FYI - also check out the Atlas Obscura noted High Street Gate nearby

Salisbury Catherdral is just an absolutely amazing place of worship. Whether you believe in god or not it is worth visiting. It blows my mind how they made it There are so many interesting pockets of history there, I was amazed to see there is an original Magna Carta there. A true Britsh gem.

The updated gym is fantastic and the leisure centre as a whole is now very accessible due to the Sainsbury’s car park renovations being finished. However, it is often busy and the membership prices can be quite steep outside of holidays for students. Altogether, a decent place to workout.

A great council facility that has a fantastic range of gym equipment after it's refurbishment although sadly not digitally linked to your individual workout on your membership card. I lack confidence in the trainer's on the gym floor when it comes to their ability to tailor training to an individuals needs. There are good pools, sports courts and a good range of classes. The Wood Bar coffee shop is very good and has a nice seating area and work space. My huge criticism of the main facility however is cleanliness, particularly in the large public seating area. It really is disgustingly filthy! The fabric seats, sofas and footstools are so dirty, as are the plastic chairs. The whole area is in need of a deep clean and regular maintenance.

Another one star review for the ridiculous booking system and swimming area as a whole. Went with my five year old daughter, wanted to go in the teaching pool at first then beach pool as a treat. Apparently you need to book one or the other. I asked if you could move between and at reception they said that would be OK if it wasn't busy. Oh no, got in to the pool area and the managing life guard had none of it. Said the teaching pool would be dangerous if too many people (there was one family of three). Wouldn't let me go in it. Then rudely said she is going to stop wasting time talking to me. I understand if the pool was busy, but it had a maximum of three people in the whole session, and at one point was empty so they shut it. She did say we could go in the big pool, despite my daughter being a non swimmer. So we stayed in the beach pool, which was cold. The changing rooms were dirty, and broken toilet roll dispensers in the gents, so toilet roll all over the floor. Another family with elderly lady and small kids got in pool towards the end of the session, and told it was five minutes too early and they had to sit on the bench (wet). Ridiculous. You'd be treated better in prison I expect.

Good mix of standard pool for swimming lengths / lane swimming, infant pool, and a sculpted pool for kids with water jets and short tube slide. Like a lot of swimming pools of this era (1990s'?) it is aging, which shows a bit around the changing room area and ceilings, but is kept clean and well maintained. I can't comment on the gym or other facilities as haven't used them. Lots of parking available though.

Rocked up at 8:30 this morning to go swimming with my kid, only to be told they’ve brought in a new booking system. Had to wait until 09:00 even though the pool was empty. Have to pick between the beach pool and the teaching pool now, and if we’re ‘lucky’ the lifeguard will let you in to the main pool. Oh, and don’t forget the sessions are now timed to 1h15. And - prices have gone up to over 17 quid for 2 adults and 1 child. Absolutely moronic, money grabbing management. Shameful.

Would not recommend this leisure centre went yesterday me and my partner told the person at the desk I’m Pregnant with twins can’t go in Coldwater as it would send my body into shock she said yeah yeah that’s fine give us a Wristband Got into swimming pool It was cold found out there was a warm swimming pool got told we couldn’t go in there. Explain the situation to the life of God still got told. No, I’ve got so cold To the point where we went for the showers, they were disgusting. Those mould on the shower And green moss Shortly after that started to get headache, my nose started to go stuffy couldn’t keep food down Called Dr Frend to explain it can only be because I’ve been in contact with Green moss and mould And the fact there was kids and adults coughing and sneezing in the pool and the doctor says with the cold water That I had to swim After being told that I could go into the warm water area He said it sent my body into shock and made it weak To the point where these people that was coughing and sneezing passed on their cold to me I only thank God that my twins are alright But I would not recommend this leisure centre as hygiene is not good floor is filthy You tell Them that you’re pregnant And you can’t go in cold water as you’ve been told not to go in cold water so you can Go into the warm water you literally can’t as you get refused that

Took my 3 Grandchildren this Saturday. Only allowed into the Beach Pool which was chilly. Told at Reception Large Pool not available. Restricted to 1 hour 15 minutes also with a chap very happy blowing his whistle to clear the pool Very very poor value for money. The water slide kept being closed, the water flumes were not allowed on apparently as they would be too noisy right over in the training pool. !! The sauna pool also was shut. The ladies toilets were very grubby. The whole of the changing rooms looked as if it could do with a good clean. The Large Pool was not at all busy but the guard on the edge would not let anyone enter. Had not realised you now need to book individual pools, thats one way of tripling the revenue for a poor service. Only good bit was the coffee afterwards but the seats were very stained and needed steam cleaning. Very disappointing visit altold.

Our visit was connected with the entertainment of our little one. The little one had a lot of fun, everything is safe, no sharp corners, many places in the labyrinth where a child can safely climb, many Balls in which she could have fun from the heart. The administrator at the entrance is quite friendly. It is good that they give out a coupon where they put a stamp for the visit and every 11th visit will be free for you. Of the minuses: Everyone needs to take off their shoes, but not all adults were barefoot (those who were expecting children). A little effort for disinfection would not hurt.

Worst place I have ever been bowling. Every ball veered off to the left for all 4 of us. I asked the old lady working behind the counter if we could switch lanes and she was so dismissive. Said "no, they're level. They have to be, they've been here 27 years. Nobody else has complained." £47 for bowling on a lane that isnt level! The whole place is so run down too. Cables hanging from the ceiling, tvs not working properly, everything is broken and the less said about the toilets the better. The pins quite often didnt set up properly, and we couldnt put the barriers down as a ball was just left stuck behind it. I'd be embarrassed to work there and will definitely not be back.

lovely soft play, my little one absolutely loves it here. the staff are all lovely and always make us feel welcome and talk to me. i personally think the soft play is very clean, the toilet with the baby change has always been tidy when i’ve used it. would defiantly recommend this place to one who has young kids 😌

Had a great couple of hours entertaining our kids. First bowling then soft play. The service is fantastic, the prices are good, and the wearing out of the kids is very needed! Love the staff here, always friendly and keeping on top of the jobs... currently watching a lady juggle cleaning, serving and hoovering... and she even took the time to take a photo of myself and my friend after serving our drinks... legend!

I absolutely LOVE coming here with my daughter it’s such a fun and engaging space, and she always has a great time. However, I do want to raise a concern about the baby area. I often find myself having to ask older children to be careful around my baby, as they tend to come into the baby zone without any adult supervision which, according to your rules, isn’t allowed. I’ve mentioned it to staff a few times, and while they do respond, the issue tends to return within minutes. Unfortunately, a recent incident where an older child fell on my baby, despite my polite requests for caution it has made me hesitant to return as often. I understand it’s hard to monitor everything all the time, but perhaps there could be clearer enforcement of age restrictions in the baby area, or more frequent staff checks. I’m only bringing this up because we really do love visiting, and I’d like to feel confident in the space being safe for the little ones.

It's a great place if it's quiet. But the minute it gets any sort of busy it's horrific. We arrived at about 1.30 on a Saturday afternoon. Found a seat fine. Ordered food at 2pm of 2 kids meals and the nachos. We where told we'd be waiting 25-30minutes due to it being busy. We left it till 2.45 before my husband went up to ask. Only to hear other tables had been waiting an hour and a half. We waited another 15minutes and by the time the food appeared we were sick of waiting. Asked to speak to the manager to get a refund and leave. The manager. Well she was insanely rude. Gave no time for me to explain that whilst we appreciate they are busy we were told 25-30 minutes. She came out with totally the wrong attitude. Eventually pushing me to the point that I told her I've got no interest in her explanations. I just want a refund and we'll leave. We usually go to outburst once or twice a month, but I'm not longer a fan. We won't be back. The staff were lovely and it's a shame the management couldn't be more approachable or sympathetic to getting children to wait an hour for food!

Good place for kids' party, fun activities for kids, including toddlers. There's also bowling alley available. Has lots of different rooms for character themed parties. Food is reasonably priced and cheap overall. The staff try their best to keep the place clean, but will benefit from some deep clean once in a while. It's wheelchair accessible (plus parking) with a disabled toilet and a baby changing room. Not well ventilated, felt a bit stuffy, in my opinion. Overall, it is more suited for kids than adults visiting for bowling. There's parking on site, and it's free.

Great birthday experience. Great range of items to paint and really nice atmosphere. We can pick up our creations in 10 days and we are very excited to see how they turned out

I pretend that I bring my daughter here for a treat but really the treat is for me! A wide range of different things to paint and really helpful, friendly staff. We can happily spend a couple of hours painting and chatting in a wonderful, chilled environment. And then we get to collect our creations a week later and it's like a second treat!

Our second visit here. Pottery pieces do seem a little pricy on top of the £3.50 per person studio fee. However we spent a pleasant hour and a half here with everyone choosing and painting a piece of pottery.

Always loved this as a place to get your hands dirty! done so many painted crockery in the past with my daughter as gift to family and a memory for me. Now came first time with my grandson 😁. For many more memories to paint 🎨👍❤️

I absolutely love coming here, its such a chilled environment, with a great choice in things to paint. The staff are always so patient with other customers and always help when needed

Booked a staff well-being afternoon and they were very accommodating and helpful. Good range of pottery to paint. Would happily come back!

Fab time at splash of colour! My friend and I hadn't done pottery painting before but the staff were so welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience 😊

We love this place, great on a windy day for kites and really well kept. Nice paths to walk on but can also walk on the grass paths. Nice walk park and outdoor wooden “gym” equipment (climbing etc) entertains the kids. Also a dog training park down by the car park. If you follow the trail to the right hand side you we get a really good view of the pig farm to. Another part kids enjoyed.

Good area for a walk and high up views over looking parts of Salisbury. Some facilities such as a carpark, dog training area, small spaced out exercise equipment, playpark. The hills can be quite steep and best to dress for the weather as it's open to the elements.

Lovely place to walk the dogs, there are these boards that also explain some history which is great! View is lovely too! Very happy puppy running around with all the new smells! 😊

The park is idea for walking, running or just a leisure stroll to clear the head. It is expansive and never crowded. It is also easy to access either Via the A345 or through London Road via Bishopdown or Bishop down Farm.

Realy nice place great walking my dog. Very close Sarum airfield Sarum ruins walk most day s not far from were live I'll add photos great it'd free plenty nesting birds wild flowers. Etc all for free

On 11th December there was a lady preventing other people from using the dog field, her dog was running around inside and she said he wasnt friendly to other dogs.... seriously.... its a public space... if thats the case have your dog on a leash and muzzled . Or pay to use a private field.... preventing other people using a public area is unacceptable. Lovely place for walk Real shame people don't clean up their dogs poop in the dog field though

Seems to be new country park - lots of tiny saplings and rough ground at the moment, but a lovely set of well marked trails and already has great views & benches!

This is a large area of managed wetlands with drainage channels throughout. There is a single path, fenced off from the meadows that joins Salisbury centre to Harnham Mill. There are some good but distant views of the cathedral, and a few signs referring to Constable, who may have painted neer here.

A beautiful nature retreat, in Salisbury, ideal for a leisurely stroll along the River Avon—especially enchanting on a warm summer day when a refreshing dip or paddle in the river feels just right. In the distance, the spire of Salisbury Cathedral peeks through the landscape, adding a touch of wonder to the view. After exploring, the Old Mill pub, dog friendly, beckons with its charming riverside garden—an idyllic spot to unwind with a drink or enjoy a bite to eat after your walk. Highly recommend this spot for a visit.

Absolutely beautiful hike from Salisbury, very pretty area with thatched roofs. There is a little pub that serves nice beers and it's a great halfway place on the hike. They have food too but we didn't eat.

Great place to walk the dog and grandchildren. Pub very close if you work up a thirst! River is lovey; lots of wildlife to see (swans, kingfisher and woodpecker today)

Gorgeous paths with the sound of moving water, birds and sheep. Surrounded with many places to eat. Great for walks, jogs and pet walks. Meanders through this beautiful village built in the 1200s. Views of the cathedral from the paths.

Beautiful place with stunning views of Salisbury Cathedral all year round, and lots of wildlife.

Beautiful meadows! Nice greenery and lots of sheeps. Lovely views 🥰
