The Church itself has a wonderful feel about it . This is not on the main tourist route but try and find time to visit... More

A quiet start to our day that was focussed and thoughtful. Winchester appears to be full of almshouses. This one to the south of the city was steeped in history and worth a visit. More

A short (ish) walk from Winchester town centre. Set in lovely countryside, you follow the river to get there. Probably the walk is as pleasurable as the old hospital really! More

Visitin St Cross is like going back in time. The surrounding area (Winchester Water Meadows) is lovely if I was making a film about medieval England, I would head for the grassy area alongside the Hospital of St Cross - I imagine it hasn't changed in hundreds of years. More
