WINCHESTER | 4K Narrated Walking Tour | Let's Walk 2021

Join me for a walk around the heart of England's first capital city - Winchester! Today the county town of Hampshire, and a bustling, affluent city, Winchester is home to much of England's most fascinating heritage, detailing the birth of the nation in the Anglo-Saxon era, and so much more!

On our walk around Winchester, we pass a number of fascinating landmarks, including the Great Hall of Winchester Castle, Westgate, Horse and Rider, High Street, Winchester Town Clock, the Old Guildhall, Godbegot House, The Royal Oak Pub, Winchester Buttercross, the site of the former palace of William the Conqueror, St. Lawrence's Church, Winchester Cathedral, The Deanery, The Pilgrim's Hall, Cheyney Court, Priory Gate, Kingsgate, the Church of St. Swithun-upon-Kingsgate, the house in which Jane Austen died, Winchester College, The Bishop's House, Wolvesey Castle, Winchester City Walls, the River Itchen, the remains of Winchester's Roman city walls, St. Swithun's Bridge (City Bridge), the City Mill, the statue of King Alfred the Great, and Winchester Guildhall.
