About this Event
Starting from the Ramblers stand in front of the Cathedral, and passing through the Kingsgate in the city wall, we stroll through water meadows and past the back of Winchester College towards the ancient Hospital of St Cross. We will return along historic Kingsgate Street.
This walk is led by a Winchester City Tourist Guide who will point out some features of historic interest along the way.
Additional points: we will only be viewing the Hospital of St Cross from the outside. Walk may be muddy in parts and involves going through a kissing gate. The walk can be shortened by catching a No 1 bus back from St Cross to Winchester city centre.
- The walk is free of charge, but you need to book through Eventbrite. Places are limited, so please ensure that you have a booking for each member of your party. (Please be patient, Eventbrite's "Reserve a spot" button sometimes takes a while to load.)
- Please wear appropriate footwear and clothes according to the weather and length of walk and don't forget sun and rain protection.
- Please arrive 10 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
- Transport: There is no parking on site and we recommend you use one of the Park and Rides. Winchester bus and rail stations are a short walk from the cathedral.
- Your walk will finish at the cathedral.
- It's unlikely that the walk will pass any public conveniences, so it's a good idea to use toilets near the cathedral beforehand - at St Maurice's Covert/Market Lane and Abbey Gardens).
