Enchanting glimpse of the historic center of Salisbury where the River Avon flows placidly between Georgian houses in red brick and stone. An elegant pedestrian bridge connects the two banks of the river, while in the background the bell tower of one of the city churches can be glimpsed. The riverside walk is embellished with lush flower boxes exploding with colors of petunias and begonias in a typical English summer scene. This medieval Wiltshire town, founded in the 13th century, preserves its historic charm intact with cobbled streets, traditional shops and the relaxed atmosphere of the English countryside.
