G.Knowles's video: Winchester City covering a visit made in September 2018 Hampshire County England 17

@Winchester City, covering a visit made in September 2018, Hampshire County England. ( 17 )
I decided to make a trip to Winchester on the 24th July 2018 and then again in September. I had never been before. Winchester is a city and the county town of Hampshire, England. It is situated about 61 miles south-west of London and around 13 from Southampton which is its closest city. Winchester developed from the Roman town of Venta Belgarum. The city is home to the University of Winchester and Winchester College, the oldest public school in the United Kingdom still using its original buildings. There is so much to see here in this fine city and spending a day here you would find it difficult to cover all the famous sites. To name a few the Cathedral, Wolvesey Castle or Old Bishop's Palace the River Itchen walk, the old site of Winchester Castle the Great Hall being all that remains now, The Guild Hall, Winchester City Museum, The Royal Hampshire Regiment Museum and Memorial Gardens, Westgate Museum, The Royal Green Jackets Museum, Winchester's Military Museums, King Alfred the Great - Statue which stands in The Broadway, Winnall Moors Nature Reserve which can be found at Durngate Place, Winchester, Abbey Gardens, 21 Colebrook St, Winchester, After spending about 5 hours here I was defeated it was in the blazing sun of the heat wave we had in July 2018. I managed to walk the River Itchen walk, see Winchester Cathedral, along with Wolvesey Castle, The Great Hall. The River Itchen in Winchester flows from mid-Hampshire to join with Southampton Water below the Itchen Bridge in Southampton. The river has a total length of 28 miles and is noted as one of the world's premier chalk streams for fly fishing. Watercress thrives all along the Itchen valley in its once pristine, crystal clear waters, now affected by some farming practices. This Grade-1 listed building is not wheelchair accessible due to its age, and there is a considerably steep staircase from the street entrance. The Westgate Museum is operated and funded by Hampshire Cultural Trust. This independent charity champions world-class culture and exists to showcase, connect and empower Hampshire’s creative economy. The Westgate Museum’s opening time for July and August 2018 are: Monday: 10:00am – 5:00pm Tuesday: 10:00am – 5:00pm Wednesday: 10:00am – 5:00pm Thursday: 10:00am – 5:00pm Friday: 10:00am – 5:00pm Saturday: 10:00am – 5:00pm Sunday: 12:00pm – 5:00pm Open weekends only after 31 August 2018.
