These incredible images show Salisbury Cathedral like it's never been seen before - from the skies.

Canny cathedral staff came up with the novel idea of using a drone to survey hard-to-reach parts of the 13th century building including its enormous 400ft spire, the tallest in Britain.

Using the drone's onboard camera they were able to record high quality footage of both the outside and inside of the 795-year-old medieval building.

As well as being a great help to staff, who have an ongoing battle to repair the building, the footage gives a birds-eye view of the cathedral, considered one of Britain's most important historical buildings.
