Bunny mower
Spotted outside the changing hut on Image was this solitary rabbit trying to keep the pitch nicely trimmed, up to this Summer Salisbury District Council employed several rabbits to keep the grass down. However, due to budget cuts, all but one have been made redundant- and it's really struggling to keep up.

The Parliament stone
The inscription reads:
This stone erected by the Corporation of New Sarum commemorates that near this spot beneath the spreading branches of an elm tree Members of Parliament for the Borough of Old Sarum were in former times elected most notable of whom was WILLIAM PITT afterwards Earl of Chatham "Clarum et venerabile nomen gentibus et multum nostrae quod proderat urbi" who forged those links of Empire which now bind our fellow citizens beyond the seas in affection to the mother country.
Wherefore let this place be forever enshrined in the hearts of our countrymen.
This site was restored and a new elm tree planted by Salisbury MP Robert Key on 7th June 2000 following collaboration between English Heritage, Ordnance Survey, Salisbury District Council and Wiltshire Wildlife Trust.
