Winchester City, covering a visit made in July 2018, Hampshire County. England. ( 6 )
I decided to make a trip to Winchester on the 24th July 2018. I had never been before. Winchester is a city and the county town of Hampshire, England. It is situated about 61 miles south-west of London and around 13 from Southampton which is its closest city. Winchester developed from the Roman town of Venta Belgarum. The city is home to the University of Winchester and Winchester College, the oldest public school in the United Kingdom still using its original buildings. There is so much to see here in this fine city and spending a day here you would find it difficult to cover all the famous sites.
To name a few the Cathedral, Wolvesey Castle or Old Bishop's Palace the River Itchen walk, the old site of Winchester Castle the Great Hall being all that remains now, The Guild Hall, Winchester City Museum, The Royal Hampshire Regiment Museum and Memorial Gardens, Westgate Museum, The Royal Green Jackets Museum, Winchester's Military Museums, King Alfred the Great - Statue which stands in The Broadway, Winnall Moors Nature Reserve which can be found at Durngate Place, Winchester, Abbey Gardens, 21 Colebrook St, Winchester, After spending about 5 hours here I was defeated it was in the blazing sun of the heat wave we had in July 2018. I managed to walk the River Itchen walk, see Winchester Cathedral, along with Wolvesey Castle, The Great Hall.
Winchester Cathedral is a Church of England cathedral in Winchester. It is one of the largest cathedrals in Europe, with the longest nave and the greatest overall length of any Gothic cathedral in Europe. Dedicated to the Holy Trinity, Saint Peter, Saint Paul, and before the Reformation, Saint Swithun, it is the seat of the Bishop of Winchester and centre of the Diocese of Winchester. The cathedral is a Grade I listed building. The cathedral was founded in 642 AD on a site immediately to the north of the present one.
The River Itchen in Winchester flows from mid-Hampshire to join with Southampton Water below the Itchen Bridge in Southampton. The river has a total length of 28 miles and is noted as one of the world's premier chalk streams for fly fishing. Watercress thrives all along the Itchen valley in its once pristine, crystal clear waters, now affected by some farming practices.
Wolvesey Castle, Old Bishop's Palace, was created by Henry of Blois in 1141 by linking the two Norman halls with a curtain wall which would have finally obliterated any remaining parts of the Anglo-Saxon palace. The extensive surviving ruins are owned and maintained by English Heritage. The castle has had Grade I listed status since March 1950, along with the palace located on the same site. A fair amount of the curtain wall remains, but nearly all the inner arrangements are gone, though it is possible to make out the hall, in which there is a good round arch and one surviving Norman window.
Winchester Castle is a medieval building and was founded in 1067. Only the Great Hall remains which houses a museum of the history of Winchester. The Great Hall is one of the finest surviving halls of the 13th century, contains the greatest symbol of medieval mythology, King Arthur’s Round Table and is all that now remains of Winchester Castle. See the iconic Round Table of Arthurian legend that has dominated Winchester’s ancient Great Hall for centuries.
Winchester College is an independent boarding school for boys in the British public school tradition, situated in Winchester, Hampshire. It has existed in its present location for over 600 years.

Places to see in ( Beaulieu - UK )
Beaulieu is a small village located on the south eastern edge of the New Forest national park in Hampshire, England, and home to both Palace House and the British National Motor Museum. Beaulieu village has remained largely unspoilt by progress, and is a favourite tourist stop for visitors to the New Forest, and also for birders seeking local specialities like Dartford warbler, European honey buzzard and hobby.
Palace House was featured in the 2005 comedy-drama film Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont starring Joan Plowright and Rupert Friend. The nearest railway station is Beaulieu Road, about 4 miles (6.4 km) away on the London-Weymouth main line. While previously this station had an infrequent service, there are now some 20 trains per day stopping here.
Wilts & Dorset bus service 112 serves the village on its way between Hythe and Lymington. In summer, Beaulieu is served by the New Forest Tour, an hourly open-top bus service. Palace House (not to be confused with the Palace of Beaulieu in Essex), which overlooks the village from across Beaulieu River, began in 1204 as the gatehouse to Beaulieu Abbey, and has been the ancestral home of a branch of the Montagu family since 1538, when it was bought from the Crown following the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII.
The house was extended in the 16th century, and again in the 19th century, and is today a fine example of a Gothic country house. Although still home to the current Lord and Lady Montagu, parts of the house and gardens are open daily to the public. It is a member of the Treasure Houses of England consortium.
In the late 1950s Beaulieu was the surprising location for one of Britain's first experiments in pop festival culture, with the annual Beaulieu Jazz Festival, which quickly expanded to become a significant event in the burgeoning jazz and youth pop music scene of the period.
Camping overnight, a rural invasion, eccentric dress, wild music and sometimes wilder behaviour — these now familiar features of pop festival happened at Beaulieu each summer, culminating in the so-called 'Battle of Beaulieu' at the 1960 festival, when rival gangs of modern and traditional jazz fans indulged in a spot of what sociologists went on to call 'subcultural contestation'.

When I was around Maddie and Ashley's ages I went to London for the first time. I remember the city feeling so very different than any I had been in before.
It felt more proper and had more energy in a non-stressed way, or at least that is what I felt as a teenager. But the big takeaway from that family vacation to London was that everything was so exciting. This time felt the same in so many ways and so different in other ways.
When we landed, and on the drive to our hotel, I had this strange feeling wash over me. Everything I was seeing felt the same as everywhere else we have been, but also different.
This was our first international multi-generational vacation so when I was planning, I was taking into consideration a vast amount of data. The trip needed to allow time for Pete and me to work, for the teenagers and an 8-year-old to have fun, and it also had to be a real vacation for my parents, who are not big travelers.
