Salisbury and Stonehenge











One of the best parts of studying abroad through SUNY Brockport was the included excursions that took place. They set up a trip to Stonehenge and Salisbury for us towards the end of our trip. They even let Trevor join along for free even though he is not technically a student. I thought that this was the perfect day trip it took a few hours to get out to Salisbury. We got off the bus and had free time to walk around until around 3 or 4 p.m. giving us a lot of time to eat and look around. 

Salisbury was a small english town and is perfect if you looking to experience some culture. There is not too much to the town a popular place to visit is  Salisbury Cathedral. It is over 750 years old and has the tallest spire! There was also a market, bands, and a ton of shops to visit. 

Then after that we went to Stonehenge which is the rock formation. That was really neat! You could not get very close to the stones but it had a sense of mystery to it. We took a bunch a pictures, and had such a good time with all of my friends. If you don't want to pay a lot of people stop along side of the road and take pictures. So if you are on a budget I would say do that but if you go inside you get a thing that looks like a telephone that tells you all about the rocks. I would not spend more than a day visiting both places. Although it was worth the trip.

  1. Wow, it seems like you've really traveled a lot for you're age, I would like to travel myself one day, but I feel like I just don't have the time. Looks like a lot of fun.
