Winchester was the original capital of England. The history here is phenomenal.
I bet there's lots of interesting folklore, especially about Aelfred
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.
Very jealous, what a super city to live in.
I ❤ Winchester! It was my home on 2 visits from Australia for 2 months each time. I will always love Winchester!
I'm a Wessex, Winchester lad myself alas I no longer live there. (Tegdown road)
I’m an American by birth, but English by heritage. I’ve been fortunate to visit England twice, but I never made it to Winchester so this was a wonderful video tour. Maybe some day …
Hope you do make it, a lovely city to visit.
I'm English Literature graduate from Kuwait, I bloody admire the history of England and literature. Your videos are truly magnificent! keep it up.
Thank you for the lovely comment Janet.
Come and visit us if you can :)
We would love to have you!! 🏴❤🇰🇼
Thank you very much for this video. I envy you your rich history culture tradition And well preserved structures that defines your ancestry.
You say bloody. You must have lived here long enough 😉
England has living history! Soooo beautiful!
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)
Lived here for 38 years and didn’t understand how beautiful it was until watching this, Lucky to live 10 minute walk away from the town.
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!!
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.
When you were near Salisbury, did you visit Stonehenge?
I went to school in Winchester and now live there, I'm still fascinated by it all.
Lovely place to live!
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...
Your description of where you are is priceless. As an old American you make me feel like my tourist guide. Thanks for that. I love England! Stationed in Germany in the Army but never had the proof visiting a great Nation!
That should have said never had the privilege!
Thank you Bob, glad you enjoyed the tour of this fine city and our narration. ☺Shame you never managed to visit.
Theirs nothing great about the UK anymore it's in the toilet and the lunatics from the asylum are running it in to the ground
@@bobbaker8263 hope you manage a visit one day, we would love to have you!! 🏴🇺🇸
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.
American, here. I've been to Bath, Cheddar, Salisbury, Winchester, and smaller towns or villages. Winchester is my favorite. Did not have enough time, but I did enjoy looking for the Green Men in the Cathedral.
Hello thank you for sharing your story and link to Winchester.
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
@@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.
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.
It’s always the way we miss things so close or don’t give them a second thought. Hope we showed you something new in Canterbury.
Reverence? Ohh get you
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 ;)
Thanks for sharing this memory. I to had a student exchange with a fellow in Denmark. Your comment brought it back to me!
Do schools still do exchanges?? Never seem to hear of it.
So glad you enjoyed the tour and it sparked the memories 😊👍
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.
Hello Tracy, thank you so much for sharing such a lovely comment with us. Did bring a smile to our faces. Lovely to get endorsements from local Wintonian's that we did a good job capturing some of the lovely things to see and do in a very special city. All the best.
How incredibly lucky u & ur family r (&have been) to be born & raised in Winchester! I’ve never been to Europe but have always wanted to. Not sure if this is surprising or not, but IF I were to ever visit England, I would much rather skip London & head straight to Windsor 🥰🥰😉!
@@tinawetzel3912 You should absolutely pay Winchester a visit Tina if the opportunity should ever arise, so much to enjoy and you would be very welcome.
Спасибо, было очень интересно, особенно понравился хорошо сохранившийся собор, самый большой в Европе. Хотелось бы узнать, с помощью каких инструментов и технологий построено столь значительное сооружение. Просто дух захватывает!
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.
OMG! I keep having to add locations to my next trip to England! If I lived over there I would never leave because it is perfection-the history, scenery & architecture just blows my mind. I can't wait to get back over there! Thank you for another great adventure!!!!!
There is a lot to see! Even if you live here it's hard to keep up with all the places you can go with special historic significance, or just too beautiful to miss. I am sure we will have more to add to your list soon!
Indeed. IT is absolutely joyous
It ain’t that great
@@zoeblampey2705 Oh yes it is, and more.
We can't wait to have you back! :) 🏴❤
saw this pop up and had to check it out :) was a choir boy in the cathedral some years back and brings back a lot of memories haha
I know Winchester well, was a Nurse there for 20 yrs, trained at the RHCH. Lived at the Westgate Hotel in 1957-1959. Grandparents were proprietors. Worth a Visit Winchester. The Eclipse has a Ghost Lady Alice Lisle from Mockbegger in the Forest.
Lovely what you've done here... Showing off Winchester so beautifully! Well done!
Thank you so kind 😊
AAAAAHHH! ADORE BRITISH HISTORICAL SITES !!!!! VISITED MANY IN THE 1960'S TO1970'S FROM (2021).
Many thanks...I am very fond of english history...in fact I might say today England( UK) is a mirror of its own history from roman times onwords, even the celts before Claudius 53 ad invasion....
We are planning a three week visit to England this year in September, and Winchester, particularly the statue of one of my favorite ancestors, King Alfred the Great is on my must see list. Your video is going to serve as a guide for us. Thank you so very much for spending so much time on producing this.
Thank you for watching and commenting, hope you have a wonderful time!
If I might I’d love to make a recommendation of nearby marwell zoo! It’s maybe 20-25 mins drive from Winchester and it’s a lovely country zoo. I used to work there so I might be biased but I do recommend!
@@oscarward414 Thanks very much!
@@vaughnblaylock6069 make sure you visit the tropical house and say hi to santos the sloth 🤣
@@oscarward414 It's been 40+ years since the proprietress of my Bed and Breakfast in Winchester suggested a visit to Marwell. Always wanted to visit Gerald Durrell's Jersey Zoo but never managed it. Marwell was an excellent substitute. I'd second your recommendation.
I love Winchester. Can't wait to go back when the sun is out and Covid is not such a pain in the backside!
Bypassed Winchester quite a few times this year travelling up and down the A34 & M3, didn't realise there was so much to see and do. Thanks for sharing.
Really worth the stop next time Andy.
Dont miss the Mizmaze on St Catherine's hill, the riverside walks or St Cross Hospital where you can get wayfarers dole ( free bread and beer 😁) czcams.com/video/9siBxun4yh0/video.html
I've been to Winchester about 30 years ago. I remember being impressed by the magnificent architecture of the cathedral. I missed the old days. I would like to go there again if I have the opportunity.
Que lugar lindo, estou encantada com tamanha beleza! Com certeza deve de ser uma cidade cheia de lugares e histórias incríveis; aquele museu está como prova. Espero que um dia eu possa conhecer Winchester e toda a Inglaterra. 🏴❤️
Olá, obrigado por assistir e pelo adorável comentário. Winchester é encantador, como você diz. Eu espero que você possa me visitar um dia. Tudo de bom e obrigado por assistir.
Thanks alot for this lovely video,so many memories of dear England,having lived in Italy for 57 years,old the beautiful old buildings,the country life Just wonderful, thanks again love from Ann Italy 🇮🇹🇬🇧👍😉
Hello Ann, thanks for watching and so glad the memories came flooding back. All the best.
Such a magnificent city! Absolutely recommended.
Thank you - so much history in one beautiful town! I'm too old to visit now & retired in USA altho I am a Brit & learning so much about all the wonderful places I did not know about & will have to visit in my next life instead!
I am glad we can share it with you in some way even if you cannot come and visit again.
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!
I'm not from Winchester, but my family has roots from all over Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset (I was brought up in Fareham) so it's always been our capital and cultural focus.
England îs a Beautiful cantry of wold Culture of musical ,catedral gotic îs magnifique !
🙏Danke für diese tolle Reise in diese schöne Stadt mit soviel Geschichte, alles wunderbar erklärt, wie immer 👍🙋♀️🇩🇪
Vielen Dank, wir versuchen, es leicht verständlich und gerade genug zu machen.
We live in Winchester and this film caught our eye for a viewing. We loved it, thank you! We love your calm and informative style, we’re now subscribed and look forward to enjoying more! Off to Lacock village with you now…….. ♥️
Hello Nicci, thank you what a lovely comment. So pleased someone local thinks we did a good job. What a wonderful place to live, so jealous! Enjoy Lacock, and thanks for joining us!
Winchester is lovely. I love the Christmas market in the Cathedral.
@@cct7558 Wish we could have made it to the market this year.
My aunt Adela and my uncle Douglas came here to spend their honeymoon. Now I understand why. It is one of the nicest cities I have seen in my life, beautifully shown. Thank you very much, Great piece of filming.😊😊
So nice to share it with you.
I also loved the miniature city layout as depicted in the Victorian era. Fascinating!
It was very detailed and clever.
I was born there, and it is lovely and historic and as stated was once the capital of Wessex and England Hampshire really is gods own county!
Fareham boy, so I have to agree with you.
It certainly is ! I visit three times a year when I am fly fishing on the River Test. I have not visited Winchester yet but I will next time I visit and spend a day there. Visiting much of Hampshire is like stepping back in time. ❤️
So was I.
In the 1950's it was a quiet market town.
Two-way traffic on the High Street.
Cars ran through the Westgate and it boasted two railway stations.
The County Council offices had yet to be built.
Wow - this was great! So professionally done, so thorough, so detailed. I have only been in Winchester once; unfortunately it was in March 2020, and after only one night I had to fly home due to the pandemic. I had no idea there were this many things to do in Winchester. I'm hoping to be back there soon!
Thank you Heidi, what a shame you did not get more time there. Hope you do make it back soon!
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.
Oh, I loved it!!!! In 2019 I had the opportunity to know a little about this city. Unfortunately our time was short and I was astonished by the History of the Winchester Cathedral that most of our time was lost there and we didn't even see everything there!!!! We ran to the Great Hall and suddenly it was time to return to London😪. Hoping I may return to this city and see more about it! And, yes, as a admirer of Jane Austen's works, the cathedral was my first place to visit, but Winchester has many, many beautiful and interesting places to see and I thank you for sharing that knowledge with us and planting a wish for more.😍
Thank you for the lovely comment and sharing your experience. Yes many people come to see the grave of Jane Austen and miss out on all the other wonderful and historic features. A day really only touches the surface. We had a weekend there, but I am sure we missed many things. A place you can visit time and time again and never get bored!
Nice BGM at the beginning
I just moved to England from Hong Kong
now in Southampton and waiting another move to rental property in Winchester
alot more heritage exists compare to Soton where being heavily bombed in WWII
Wow, so interesting. I first visited Winchester 40 years ago. Must get back for another visit.
You should! glad you liked it.
By far the best channel for the English countryside - informative, coverage of beautiful places, and very calming way of narrating. Really enjoy your videos.
Thanks! 😃So kind ! 😊
@@MemorySeekers Please make a vidoe about Holy Island ? it's amazing place
@@michaelhawkins7389 I have pinned on our travel map for when we are in that area. No idea when that might be though.
@@MemorySeekers where can i find this map?
@@MemorySeekers how do I see the travel map?
What a beautiful city, I go there almost everyday and you even managed to surprise me with that surviving section of Roman wall. A lovely and calming video, well worth 26 mins watching!!!
Ah thank you so much, glad we found something you did know was there. They do need to tidy up the plants around it so you can see it better. Easy to miss though on the river walk.
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!
I am so pleased to see another video from you guys! I thought Winchester was very charming and very well maintained! It's the sort of place that I would be happy to live if that were possible! Extremely interesting and educational! The cathedral was absolutely beautiful! Well done indeed again! Thank you!
I think the only Cathedral I think can top Winchester is York. They are amazing! Glad you liked it as always.
You can't compare them! They are both stunning but York is the prettier I felt and kind of feminine, with all its intricate stonework inside and out. What caught my eye too were the tapestry kneeling mats, all made by locals, just gorgeous. I visited York in 2019 but grew up in Winchester. 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.
Well - I am in love with this place 😘🌹🌹🌹
🤗
Evensong at Winchester Cathedral, with that mighty pipe organ shaking your very soul. Unforgettable!
Must sound amazing, a few people have mentioned it.
Oh my. You two have made a beautiful video of a beautiful place. Music was so appropriate. My heart’s desire has been to go to the British isles most of my life but now it’s to late for me. I really appreciate your work so I and others can see such wonderful places. Thank you so much. Blessings
Hello Joen, thank you for the lovely comment, a shame you won't be able to visit but glad we were able to share it virtually for you. All the best.
How did old building stood all these years. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Excellent thank you 👍
Thank you for another lovely episode! It gives me a new appreciation of the song “Winchester Cathedral”😊
Our pleasure!
great video...i would add and not miss Winchester College and Holy Cross Priory both fantastic places to see in Winchester.
Thank you for the extra suggestions
I visited this beautiful town recently and I really enjoyed my meal at Pitcher and Piano, near the bottom of the high street! :P
Winchester is a very beautiful place indeed !
It sure is!
I’ve lived in Winchester since I was 5 and this video popped up on my home page. Brilliant video and really does show Winchester in its most beautiful form! If you do visit Winchester, don’t sit on the buttercross - According to local myth a witch put a curse on it in the Middle Ages which compels sitters to return time and time again to the city…not that I think that’s a bad thing!
Thank you for the lovely comment and stories of the past! Great to hear. So pleased you liked our tour of a wonderful city.
Incredible tour!!! I didn't know how much historic sites had in Winchester. How well preserved places since the Roman times. I stayed fascinated. Thanks you for sharing with us such gorgeous views from city.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for letting us know how much you liked it. Keeps us going! 😀
Your video makes me want to visit Winchester again and see the sites I missed. Thank you.
I hope you make it back. Always something new to discover 😊
What a town!
Magnificent ! Thank you.
lovely video, thanks
Winchester is absolutely beautiful - would love to visit again - forty years is too long.
Never tired watch it again and again, looking back to details I’ve lost trying to listen and look to but drifting somewhere else, thank you
Im from Winchester and this video is spot on
Thank you, very kind.
Awesome, beautiful images , so much history and interesting facts
Very proffesional video. Thnx
Just wonderful
I just love this vlog. I went to Winchester at Christmas and they had a open market. So festive and I will never forget it. You are so correct, the wonder of Winchester and their beautiful buildings! Not to mention the history along with Winchester Cathedral (alone worth the trip) just so impressive, thank you so very much!
Yes the Christmas market is excellent. Visited a number of years ago. Very busy but some great stalls and very festive as you say. Glad you liked our tour around the city.
Sorry had to comment on this, I live in Winchester and sure the Christmas Market is good, you missed out on the Ice Rink thats typically there as well because of Covid it wasn't put up, but god this city is not at all what tourists see, its a trash panda town haha
@@joescott5825 Yes i have lived here all my life its brilliant when sunny and in the center. Not quite as beautiful in the suburbs and estates. The christmas market is amazing but pricy. great for an evening walk. so sad the fudge store wasnt here this year
Absolutely magnificent viewing! Historical buildings and places. Thanks for the video!
Thank you!
How lovely
I didn't think that places like this exists any more in the UK. I have been to York, and have seen how much it's been modernised. Then even with Cambridge, and then Windsor. Windsor really showed me that, some of the older buildings have been kept quite well. This place is beautiful. It's P&G Wells ! That name from the Yellow Page advert !
Yorks been like that since the 1970s/1980s and even before that.. though , but if you want to blame anyone blame .. The Victorians they knocked down a lot of the wall. but at least York still has more history still around on display then most citys and towns in the UK , it still has its castle walls
Thank you for the wonderful memories. I ended a very memorable Jane Austen trip with friends in Winchester 15 years ago,and stayed and extra night. I am so glad I did because I had such a wonderful time roaming around Winchester and fell in love with the city. I saw many of the sites you showed, and it as such a delight to see it all again. I loved Hampshire, and love that I live in the state named after it, New Hampshire, US.
Hello, what a lovely comment, so nice to hear that you have visited and remember these places bringing back memories. I guess you will have seen and watched our other Jane Austen videos? In a few weeks we have a few more that touch on Jane when she visited Derbyshire, so look out for those! What a coincidence you are in New Hampshire! Greetings from London.
These videos help me miss my family in the uk a little less but also gives me ideas of places to go when I visit
So pleased you enjoy the videos and it helps with the home sickness 😊
Another brilliant video, Winchester is one of my favourite places to visit when in the UK. I am hoping to visit again in the not too distant future. Thank you for posting you both do such a good job, it’s very relaxing watching what you produce. Keep up the good work 🐨🦘🐨🦘😷
Such a lovely comment, thank you so much.
Beautiful video. I've been twice but with young Spanish students who weren't into all of this. Now I've seen all I missed in a very tastefully done presentation. Thank you.
Thank you for watching we are pleased to have been able to show you some places you missed. Maybe you can go back some day!
There is also an awesome viaduct you can walk along or cycle over. Apparently they took the Tour of Britain bike race over it during a stage. It's located about 3 miles south of the city centre near the park & ride. Also St Martha's hill is once of the best viewpoints to see the entire city.
I think you referring to the Hockley Railway Viaduct, great catch. Thanks for the extra information.
Great video, thank you.
Thank you.
Great video as always I love the commentary
Really appreciate your mentioning the side street, "look up" & the ancient pub. Wonderful ❤
such a beautiful city miss there
We were just there a couple weeks ago!! Loved Winchester!! ❤
Went for another visit on Sunday. Sunny and beautiful. I went to most of these places and also some of the amazing old pubs! Beautiful city.
Wonderful sounds like you had a good old time! 😊
Excellent little film!
Very beautifully done! Many greetings from The Netherlands
Thank you very much, greetings from London.
I live here! Definitely recommend, so much history and scenery that I've never fully appreciated
Absolutely lovely. Enjoyed every minute of it.
So glad!
Another wonderful scenic & historic video. Thanks!
Many thanks!
Thanks
Great video, thanks again.
Our pleasure!
Thank you, very beautiful places !
It really is lovely to visit.
Very inspiring and beautiful video and city , first class and sweet.
Thank you for this beautiful tour ❤
My pleasure 😊
This video was most enjoyable. At my age, this is the nearest that I can get to a real visit. Thank you.
Lovely!! Such quality content. ❤️
Thank you so much 😁
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.
Thank you for the lovely comment, so nice to hear your story and association with Winchester.
Thanks so much for reminding me just how wonderful Winchester is-- I haven't been there since I was 20, so it's on the cards for my next British holiday.... whenever that may be!
That is nice to hear, I hope you do make it back, much better in person!
@@MemorySeekers I'm hoping to have a good, long trip later on in 2022.
