The other highlight apart from Stonehenge on this walk is Old Sarum -
Old Sarum has been occupied since around 3000 BC, beginning as a Neolithic settlement.
It became an Iron Age hillfort around 400 BC, then was used by Romans, Saxons, and Normans.
Original Site of Salisbury.
The original city of Salisbury (then called Sarum) was based here.
It had a cathedral, royal palace, and castle all within the hillfort.
