exploring the City of Winchester, England
Prior to my pilgrimage along The Pilgrim's Way from Winchester to Canterbury in August 2018, I spent a couple of days in Southampton...within easy reach of Winchester by train, I spent a day in Winchester exploring. Not my first visit, and probably not the last :) It is one of my favourite cities in the UK
Winchester City, covering a visit made in July 2018, Hampshire County England. ( 1 )
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. Founded in 1382 Winchester College is believed to be the oldest continuously running school in the country. Our guided tours concentrate on the medieval heart of the College, and include Chamber Court; the 14th century Gothic Chapel, with one of the earliest examples of a wooden vaulted roof; College Hall, the original Scholars' dining room; School, the seventeenth century redbrick schoolroom and the original medieval cloister.

Winchester City Mill stands over the River Itchen in Winchester – which was the capital of King Alfred’s Wessex - since Saxon times. With a history of 1000 years, Winchester City Mill is also the oldest working watermill in Britain. A rare and classic surviving example of a working corn mill, the City Mill was rebuilt around 1744 and remained in use until the early 20th Century. The National Trust took over the running in the late 1920’s, when it was restored to full working order in 2004. When you visit, you'll find hands-on activities and audio-visual displays about milling. As the Gateway to the South Downs National Park, the City Mill also provides information if you're looking to explore local walks and attractions, as well as the many other local National Trust properties.

In this video was are exploring an abandoned tower block -
This wasn't planned, we were driving past when it caught my eye so it was worth a stop and within five minutes were were inside this pretty much sealed building.
At the time we had no idea what it was, it looked a mix between a doctors surgery, university and housing.
We climbed as high as we could inside, but some doors were still locked and I'll be honest it was pretty much generic inside.
I'll see you at the next one guys!
Peace and love.
