~20/5/2021~ Decided to actually start posting photos of our trip away ^^^ this was the view from Old Sarum over Salisbury ⛪💛... Slept quite well for first night in hotel 😴 but have still felt quite fatigued - probably from change in activity. Parentals drove to meet me at the park and ride next to my hotel and we got the bus into Salisbury City Centre. I had been once before, but on a hot summer's day. Today was windy and rainy so felt quite different! 🌧💨 We went on this historical self-guided tour around the city - it was good, though slightly miserable because of the rain! We decided to go to wagamamas for lunch to get out the rain - first time we've had a proper meal out in ages! 🍛 There was a gift shop in Salisbury with lots of jellycats in the window, which parts now wish we had gone in, but reminding them that we wouldn't have been able to touch them, so perhaps it's better we didn't go in! 🙃 We walked round the cloisters of the cathedral after lunch - also getting us out of the wind and rain ⛪👣 Parentals got the bus back early as they got cold and were worried about their awning in the rain, but we decided to stay put for a bit longer - got a costa to warm up ☕ and read kindle 🤍 before getting bus back 🚌 There's a McDs right next to the hotel so picked up a side for dinner as had a big lunch 😉 This little trip away has definitely done us good, just feeling a bit tired, and not looking forward to parental coming to pick us up to head home early tomorrow morning... 🦄 #instadaily #instablog #update #mentalhealth #dissociativeidentitydisorder #cptsd #autism #traumarecovery #edrecovery #anxiety #chronicillness #disability #pots #potsie #dysautonomia #positivevibes #recovery #oldsarum #salisbury #wiltshire #walking #citybreak #staycation #buttercups #may #meadow #view #nature #skyporn #naturelove (at Old Sarum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPGms3aJY3TGWKHciBREJPMzwbejsXC2FqQaV00/?utm_medium=tumblr

Old Sarum

Surprisingly it’s not just a mound of dirt. As there are foundations still visible which would indicate a decent sized structure. Looks like a do-me-upper if anyone wants to give me a small loan? -TommyC

I had no idea how impressive this site would be from the road it just looks like some walls on a hill. As you explore the site you realise just how much still remains the King’s quarters still remain as do many of the other rooms. Old Sarum has an extensive history spanning the Iron Age, Romano-British, Norman and Saxon periods. This was the original site of Salisbury Cathedral before the ‘new’ cathedral was built in the 1200s. It’s believed the magna carta travelled between the two sites too. -RoxyB

Old Sarum 2019 The original site for the earliest settlement of Salisbury located North of Salisbury today. Evidence of a prehistoric settlement have been discovered from 3000BC onwards. An Iron Age hill fort was built around 400BC to help control local trade paths. Occupation of the site continued throughout the Roman and Saxon period. The biggest change on Old Sarum came during the Norman period, with construction of a motte and bailey castle in 1070, and the building of a stone wall around the settlement and a cathedral completed in 1092. For the next couple of hundred years the settlement enjoyed its best years, with the Cathedral being refurbished and expanding the building to double the length in 1110’s. King Henry I then decided to build a royal palace within the curtain walls in 1130’s. Once the city continued to grow there was a apparent problem with lack of water in the settlement, so much that water was sold at inflated prices which led to talk of the Cathedral moving. In the late 11th and early 12th century the decision was made to move the Cathedral from Old Sarum to a new site. This was due to lack of water and the Cathedral repeatedly being damaged by wind and soldiers of the royal fortress restricting common folk access to the cathedral on serval occasions. Pope Honorius III agreed to the relocation and in 1220 building work began on the new Cathedral, and the settlement that grew around it was Salisbury. The settlement shows evidence on continued habitation but much of Old Sarum was razed to the ground to be used in the new settlement. In 1322 Edward II order for the castle to be demolition. posted on Instagram - https://ift.tt/2JuPor2

Isn't a castle but I loved this photo! Thank you from @tommorussell . . . . - Old Sarum from the sky is just breathtaking. I loved growing up in the valley at the bottom of the hill. I’m so lucky to still have family here and be able to regularly return. The area is so steeped in history and is definitely worth a visit.
