Everyone has heard of the River Avon—the one Shakespeare knew as a boy; the one Stratford is on. Then there’s the other well-known River Avon, forming Bristol’s mighty harbour and giving Bath much of its beauty. Less celebrated is the third major River Avon, flowing south through the chalk downs of Salisbury—the other “other Avon.”
THE SALISBURY AVON is at least as lovely as its two better-known cousins—a wide, clear stream, flowing over gravel, lined by trees and meadows, a group of thatched cottages every few miles along its banks, and the lonely chalk hills of Wessex looming above. And it has its share of major sites, particularly Salisbury Cathedral and Stonehenge.
As a fortification situated on the Scottish borders, NORHAM CASTLE was frequently involved in bloody Anglo-Scottish affairs. Between 1136 and 1513 it was known as the most dangerous place in England.
