Old Sarum is one of the most historically important sites in southern England. You can walk right round its mighty prehistoric outer ramparts, raised by Iron Age people in about 400 BC.
At the centre, you’ll find the huge Norman inner mound and ditch, founded by William the Conqueror. Climbing onto the mound, you can trace the ruins of the Norman royal castle. Around it, a bustling new city sprang up.
