The place we live is usually the place we take for granted. Glad you enjoyed the new insight into the wonderful city you live in. (very jealous 😊)

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!!

The cathedral might still have bell-ringing, so, if that's of interest, you could schedule around that.

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.

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 visited in 1971, as a 16 year old, loved it. Although born in South Africa, ( conscripted and served in the SA Army ), always considered myself an Englishman.

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.

Very watchable! Been a long time since I was in Winchester - is amazing how many old buildings there are still being used today - just wonder how many of our constructions of the past 40-odd years will still be worth keeping & using in 800 + Years?!! Nice job!

Thank you Michael so glad you liked it. Also thank you for the additional locations to visit, I am sure there are even more. With any place we visit we only have so much time as this is a part time hobby. We could not fit any more into our weekend away. If we had rushed around maybe we could, but part of what we enjoy about making the videos is that we get some time to experience it as well, rather than just being behind a camera filming all the time. Hopefully sometime we can head back and cover more. Appreciate you sharing more ideas. All the best.

@@MemorySeekers O.K. Well done for the extensive coverage. Good work!

i lived in Winchester and got mt PhD degree in political media from Winchester university. I enjoyed watching this video. It reminded me of my lovely moments I spent there. I will come to visit Winchester and say hello for the staff of the university and some Wintonian friends. Thanks a lot for this video.

What a beautiful place! I have to go there and see it myself!

I have a feeling they say its one of the best cities in the country to live, sure I read a survey not so long ago and it was on the list.

What is the famous nickname given to Winchester?

It must be wonderful to live amongst all of this glorious history. This Canadian just got his UK citizenship, so never say never.

So much nostalgia watching this. Lived there with my husband when we were first married and I went to university there. Truly a lovely corner of England. When we lived there, it was possible to have a guided tour of Winchester boy's school and St. Cross Hospital.

I live here! Definitely recommend, so much history and scenery that I've never fully appreciated

Thank you for this, I live 15 mins away from Winchester and I do love it there, I am going there tomorrow to see my daughter and have a day out, and I will visit some of the areas you mentioned that I haven't been to yet.

Have worked in Winchester on and off for the last 20 years and I still found things you showed that I was not aware of!! I agree it is a very walkable city and you csn see and feel the history around you. My only warning is it is a steep walk from the bottom to the top of the High Street!

Hi Barry, glad you hear we have shared somethings you have not seen. I am sure we missed things as well, there is a huge amount to take in. Yes the High St is steep if you walk it in one go. If you zig zag the side streets to stop and views things it makes it easier and less noticeable.

It was great to make a return visit but from my armchair. My last actual visit was in 2016 with my husband just under a year before he passed away. We paid a visit to the Rifles Museum, as my maternal grandfather escaped from his home in 1915, at 15 years of age to Join The Kings Royal Rifles. If I remember rightly there was a large model on display at the time, recording the Battle of Waterloo.

Hello, so glad we were able to take you back there with your husband in your thoughts. Thank you for sharing your family history as well, fascinating to hear of your brave grandfather.

Jane's house isn't yellow anymore! They finally repainted it. It is a lovely buff colour. I live in Winchester and see these sights everyday! Great video.
