Today we were heading down to Winchester for the day. We were introducing a friend and her children to Treasure Trails. Always handy to take people under your wing for their first time as the trail writers can be a little sneaky with some of the clues … tucking them away in hardest to find locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Jon and I had been down to Winchester previously, we’d tried to park in the town centre. Not only was it expensive, the car parks were often difficult to access, tucked down one way streets. This time we decided to park in the Park & Ride<\/strong><\/a>. We followed the directions from the A34\/M3 and ended up in the Barfield P&R. It was a bargain. \u00a33 to park for the day and get the bus into Winchester! Buses ran regularly so it was only 5 mins or so before we were heading in the city. The bus stop was right outside the Guildhall so very easy to find. Pick up was across the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to do the Winchester City & Castle<\/a><\/strong> Treasure Trail and would get to see some of the city as well. It’s a city packed with history and some fantastically old building. The Cathedral is a highlight but the Great Hall and Tower are also well worth a visit. If visiting in the run up to Christmas, the Christmas Market is must-see … but try and avoid the weekend as it’s crazily busy.<\/p>\n\n\n
