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.

I was there for a day in late October 2023 while traveling around England. Beautiful. I would love to go back. The walking paths along the river were very nice and relaxing.

This is one of my best love architecture in Britain. Such immaculate details.

A very interesting and enthusiastic presentation of this important city of English heritage. I have, over the years, spent a good deal of time in Winchester, although mostly in the Cathedral library, home to many fascinating and rare medieval manuscripts. Most things have been covered in this video walk, but mention should be made of the Winchester Bible, a large 12th Century illuminated manuscript, and arguably the finest example of it`s kind in existence.
Don`t forget to marvel at the slumped floor within the cathedral, due to it being built on ground prone to water seepage - the cathedral being saved from collapse by the enormous efforts of diver, William Walker. A story of determination and courage all by itself :)
Excellent walk though - so very well done indeed !!!!!!!

There is a world popular song in the early 1970's titled Winchester Cathedral.

[@elainehowell2836]

I was born and worked in Winchester and it is nice place to walk round and shops and there is a market and the courts and the churches pubs and restaurants

[@decimustv4257]

Brilliant video

[@EASYTIGER10]

I'm never sure why so many overseas tourists go to Stonehenge when nearby Salisbury and Winchester have more impressive examples of what man can build out of stone.

[@joyousjoyyr337]

Hello,
I would like very much to see a tour of the inside of Winchester Cathedral. Thank you

[@sueseibert4714]

Wonderful!

[@FM-ex9cr]

Another great video 👍 major credit to you and your channel for providing the best content surrounding towns and cities! Any chance you’d have a look at Barnstaple, North Devon? Born there myself and knowing it’s relatively undervalued history from being a historically major port, to having its own language and an extensive history I think it would make a fantastic video for the channel!

[@markbarker6739]

I've not been there for nearly 50 years must go again

[@PeaceDweller]

Tintagel Castle, which was built in North Cornwall in the 13th Century is said to be the castle that was built on top of Camelot which was built in the 5th or 6th Century.

[@lynnballington8467]

Hello are you okay fancstic vidio beautiful place I love it take care stay safe xx

[@cutedulcinea]

Could you upload here a street map with the route you describe in the video? It would be very useful.

[@peterlewer7449]

A wonderful video, however, Kings School, Canterbury, is the oldest continuous school in the world, not Winchester College.

[@EASYTIGER10]

Surely the "longest medieval cathedral in Europe" would be the longest medieval cathedral in the world - since there aren't any longer medieval cathedrals outside Europe. So why not push the boat out and say "longest medieval cathedral in the world"......
