The city of Salisbury in Wiltshire, normally pronounced 'Solzbree' or 'Zawzbree' by locals. Salisbury is a cathedral city which grew up to replace a Roman town with pre-Roman origins on its north-eastern hill called Sarum (or Old Sarum). It is famous for its cathedral which has the tallest spire in the UK. Has a Welsh name of Caersallog which is quite unusual for a town away from far western England however with a long bardic history and connection to druidic Salisbury Plain on which Stonehenge and other mesolithic sides have pan-Celtic resonance. A further connection there to Wales is the large boulders themselves hewn from Wales reflecting the earliest warring population patterns in Britain on the higher land both across the land and across elevated sites across England and Wales.
