We meet at Salisbury railway station and full details of each trip will be sent out by email. Allow a good half day. Some of the jaunts we have done - Sherborne Castle; Southampton City Art Gallery; Messums at Tisbury; a guided tour of Romsey Abbey. SS Great Britain; a guided tour of Bath and a visit to Two Temple Place London to view a John Ruskin exhibition. This Group will now restart on Thursday 17 September 2026 .
