The parish has very little formal
recreational ground, although Hudson's Field borders the parish, and is
one of the most important pieces of recreational land in Salisbury. The
small triangular bit at the northern end of Hudson's Field, that is cut
off from the rest by the Portway, is inside the parish boundary. There
are two schools with their own recreation grounds, but these are not public.
The grassland between the outer and inner rings of Old Sarum Castle is
owned by English Heritage, but is effectively public amenity land. The
picture shows the football ground behind Farthing Cottage. This ground
is owned by Sarum College (previously known as the Theological College)
and has been leased to the council since 1995.
