The story of Salisbury began 2,500 years ago when an Iron Age fort was built on Salisbury Hill about 2 miles north of the modern town centre. In the 6th century AD the Saxons invaded Wiltshire. In 552 Saxons and Celts fought a battle at Salisbury Hill. About 1069 William the Conqueror built a wooden castle to overlook the settlement and keep the inhabitants in line. In 1075 a bishop moved his seat there. However Sarisberie was a small settlement. The modern town of Salisbury began about the year 1217 when the Bishop decided to move his seat to land owned by the church south of the hill. A shortage of water on the hill may have been another reason for the move. He created a new town on the plain.

Stonehenge is one of the most impressive sights in England. It was started in the Stone Age, over 4000 years ago. The stones were transported hundreds of miles. It was long before horses were brought to Britain. The stones were cut and shaped without metals tools. Some people believe that Stonehenge was a sacred place. Others believe it was a giant calendar. We can be sure that it was built for a very important purpose. Nowadays many tourists visit this place. But the stones were damaged by visitors, so in 1978 a fence was made round the site to keep people away.
