The Wardrobe is a delightful building, mostly 15th century, altered in the 17th and 19th centuries. Now housing a military museum, its odd name is derived from the fact that it stands on the site of a medieval bishop's storehouse. Listed, grade II*, with details at: LinkExternal link
A cathedral was established at the Iron Age hillfort of Old Sarum by the Normans. In 1220 the cathedral was removed to the nearby plain and New Sarum (Salisbury) grew up around it, receiving a city charter in 1227. Located at the confluence of five rivers (Avon, Nadder, Ebble, Wylye and Bourne) the city is prone to flooding. Traffic between the ports of Southampton and Bristol, passes around the city's ring-road via the A36 causing much congestion.
