Looking down across the houses, in the direction of Salisbury Cathedral. The rivers Avon and Nadder flow through the bottom of the valley, on this side of the cathedral, demonstrating that the cathedral is built on higher ground.

Looking across the valley in the direction of Salisbury Cathedral. With its spire reaching to 404 feet, the cathedral dwarfs the surrounding buildings.

A view towards the communications mast on Harnham Hill. Many of the roads ascending the hill from Harnham Road are closed to traffic for certain hours during the day. 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.

This hideous modern housing development should never have been allowed to be built - especially fronting an important road. The development is so out of keeping with the other properties in the area. It is not helped by the different window styles and different paint schemes. A cathedral was established at the Iron Age hillfort of Old Sarum by the Normans.
