When you climb the ramparts of Old Sarum, you have a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside, including a distant view of the Salisbury Cathedral.
The castle at Old Sarum was built around 1070 by William the Conqueror. It is in ruins today but much of the iron age earthworks are intact and the views from the top are incredible.

This was the Cathedral at Old Sarum. It has since been replaced by the new Cathedral in Salisbury that you can see from the ramparts. All that is left of the original Cathedral is an outline of the foundation . . . and terrific views.
If you walk the Town Path from Queen Elizabeth Gardens to the Old Mill at Harnham, you walk past Island Cottage and look through their charming wrought-iron gate to this view of Salisbury Cathedral.
If you walk the Town Path from Queen Elizabeth Park along the river Avon and through the Harnham Water Meadows, you get this marvelous view of Salisbury Cathedral.
Chateau of Villandry is the last of the great chateaux of the Loire built during the Renaissance in the Loire Valley. It was modified over the years until 1906 when Dr. Joachim Carvallo and his American wife Ann Coleman bought and restored it to its Renaissance grandeur. The Carvallo family still own it and are continuing renovations and improvements. If you time your visits several years apart, you can see the changes. It's fun to watch the transformation. Many people go to Villandry to visit the gardens and will tell you to skip the château. Don't listen to them. The château is wonderful and gets better each year. Furthermore, the view of the gardens from the top of the tower is magnificent. Then, after you climb down from the tower, visit the gardens and enjoy them too. You can easily spend a full day at Villandry.
In 1532 the old feudal fortress was razed to the ground except for the keep which stands to this day and from which you get magnificent views of the castle gardens.
Not much view from the street level, but at the top of the church steps, you get a great view. Be sure to visit the church too.
You only have to climb to the terrace for this stunning view. If you want the church in your view too, climb to the top of the Keep for even more stunning vistas.
The view from the Terrace just above the church shows Château de Fayrac just opposite, one of several castles you can sight from Château de Beynac.
A formidable château in the Perigord, Château de Fénelon has been passed back and forth between English and French ownership. It has been under French ownership since June 23, 1375 and is currently owned by the family Delautre. Several movies have been made here and the setting is sublime on a hill out in the wild countryside.
The manor house and gardens are set on a hill overlooking the Vézère Valley so you have stunning view all around. We were there in late September and there were still a lot of flowers blooming. I can only imagine how lovely it is in the summer.
Surrounded by white flowers, if you stand, this is your view. If you sit, you are overlooking the frog fountain. This was my favorite place in the gardens.

The Frog Fountain at Eyrignac Gardens. It is just beautiful and the sound magic.
After you walk through the White Garden, you turn and look back one last time. This is your view.
