I was born in Winchester and still lucky to live there to this day, I'm 35 now and live near the King Alfred statue, always finding out and seeing new things such a rich history.

On our last trip in 2017, we hired a driver from Salisbury to pick us up at Heathrow, drive us to see Winchester Cathedral and the Great Hall, before depositing us at our B&B in Salisbury. Money well spent as it would have been challenging to drive or park in Winchester as an American tourist. We knew after a few hours in Winchester that we should have allowed 2 days there since it’s such a lovely city and the people were so friendly. I want to encourage people to buy an English Heritage Pass, since it gives free admission to so many historic sites across England; we used it for 15 stops from Salisbury up to Northumberland. The sites you’ve visited (cathedral, historic museums, good pubs and lovely walks) are the same kind of sites we enjoyed. Now that my husband has passed, I still want to return on my own. Luckily the great train system, easy access to taxis and lovely people make this manageable for a single traveler. Thanks for this wonderful video!!

[@MemorySeekers]

Yes English Heritage pass can be a good thing to get to save money and see many places if you are coming for a couple of weeks. Sounds like your last trip was incredible. Hope you do manage to organise a new trip to bring back memories and make new ones! All the best.

I don't mind admitting that when I first saw the statue of Alfred The Great, it made me feel quite emotional. It was just so majestic. (That is when I visited Winchester one day. I absolutely fell in love with the city)

It’s………weird hearing someone talk about things you see every day with such reverence. The cathedral, while impressive, is something I’ve always taken for granted.

[@pauldevehers394]

Thank you ever so much indeed for this video... Brought me to tears... I was living in Petersfield and working at Winchester, a city I've visited before even knowing I was going to work there... It much did impress me the city mill and its crystal clear water... All the beauty to see in a place that makes you feel like living in a tale... All the people I met, very down-to-hearth, lovely a city that takes you more than just a day to see... Right after the city mill on the house of the rising sun, there's plenty to see as well. There's also the headquarters for the Council, and more and more. It's really worthy a tour... Bless you for this video that brought me to tears...

I was 14 years old when I took part in a student exchange between my school in Hamburg (Germany) and the Henry Beaufort School in Winchester in 1988. I remember well how beautiful and peaceful Winchester was (and still is of course). The myriad of old timbered houses, ruins, town gates and churches tell the story of this very old historic town. I really enjoyed the time with our exchange partners with whom we all had a lot of fun. We learned a lot from each other. Thx to the Elliot family from SoWo ;)

Im going next week. Im staying for 24hrs but considering extending to 2 nights but that will take one day out of my stay in London (4days with daytrip to Hampton Court Palace, Warner Bros, Windsor Castle). Would you say its worth it? Its so hard to decide with so many things I want to see

[@scallopohare9431]

@@RubiDoctolero-co5xm I would, but that is based partly on the cathedral, partly on the city archives, and partly on having stayed in a B&B in Sparsholt, with several suppers at a gastropub, The Plow. The cathedral might still have bell-ringing, so, if that's of interest, you could schedule around that.

I was astonished how many really important historic Buildings etc , that had been protected over the centuries. What a beautiful city, every historians dream of what such a place should look like. It puts me to shame, having driven from Somerset on occasions, and left this Gem off my itinerary. In mitigation, there were SO MANY, beautiful historic places of interest, enroute, including Bath and Salisbury, with Canterbury the termination. But next year ? Top of the list.

I thoroughly enjoyed this informative guided tour around Winchester where both myself and my family have lived for centuries. As a true Wintonian , this was a heart warming visit to all of my favourite places and running spots. Beautiful city with wonderful history and nature on our door step. Very blessed to be a part of such a well loved city with Alfred watching over us. My father used to be a shunter on the steam railway when it was situated in Chesil street at the lower end of the city and now resides in the newly built Chesil Lodge by the old rail line and afford him many happy memories. Thank you for sharing this short film with us.

My grandfather ( mother's father ) was from Scarborough. Joined the Army, Kings Royal Rifles. He was stationed at the depot in Winchester. Met my grandmother, who was from Winchester. They married in 1915. Grandfather was a Colour Sergeant with the KRR, at that time, before he was shipped off to war in France. My mother was born at Aldershot. However, before my mother, her two older brothers and grandmother accompanied grandfather with the 60th, KRR, to India, Egypt and Burma, ( until 1941, when the 60th were evacuated down to South Africa. Grandfather a Major, at the time, was Quartermaster. The 60th returned to Egypt for the duration of the war, while the women and children remained in SA. Grandfather died with the rank of Lt. Colonel. My uncle Hugh, Captain with the 7th Gurkhas, paratrooper, remained in Burma. Fought the Japanese in Burma. My father a Staff Sergeant with the NMR, fought and was serverely wounded during the Battle of El Alamein, in Egypt, 1941.), my mother's family lived at Sparkford Road, Winchester for a couple of years, not far from King Alfred's statue and the Cathederal.

I live about 20mins away by train & have visited Winchester quite often. My son and I once decided we would take a tour of the top of the tower of the cathedral, up an extremely narrow ancient stone spiral staircase, exhausting, but very much worth it, the view from the top was spectacular. Also, the Winchester Bible is not to be missed. An extremely beautiful place to visit.

I am sure the view from the tower is amazing. They had not tickets left on the day we visited. I think it gets booked up!

My best friend's dad was a verger there so know Winchester cathedral intimately. It is grander and more of a giant than York. Both have wonderful appeal.

Brilliant! Winchester was the birthplace of my maternal grandmother in the 1920s, and it's been ten years since my last visit. Thanks for bridging the gap until my next visit. Another well-produced and well done video!

[@MemorySeekers]

This video was most enjoyable. At my age, this is the nearest that I can get to a real visit. Thank you.

Really appreciate your mentioning the side street, "look up" & the ancient pub. Wonderful ❤

[@Talushallux1]

Another great vid guys. I first saw your Scottish series and got hooked. I've been to Winchester twice and it's got great history and architecture. And Winchester college is one of the top in all of UK. Keep up the good work.

I love this city!! Thanks.

[@MemorySeekers]

It certainly is impressive! We love it too.

[@jlelliotton]

A wonderful video, thank you. My last visit to Winchester was in October 2018 and I plan to go back next summer. My favourite part of my visit was seeing those beautiful medieval tiles in the cathedral. An incredible city to spend a day or two just wandering around.

[@MemorySeekers]

Hi Jim, You’re absolutely right! Winchester is a perfect size to walk around with a rich history to keep you coming back time after time

[@sheilanovitz8578]

Many, many thanks for this. I loved every moment. In the 1980s I spent some weeks in Winchester and enjoyed every moment, especially Evensong in the Cathedral during most late afternoons. The chapel in Winchester College is also a joy to visit. For a long time I stood outside Jane Austen’s final home, almost expecting to see her! Thank you so much for awakening my memories and all the nostalgia associated with them. Your documentaries are simply wonderful; I enjoy them more than I can say. You are doing an excellent job!

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and so pleased it brought back font memories. Lovely to have you with us as we travel around! All the best.

[@heatherbradley6267]
