Winchester.

Situated amidst the chalk downs of Hampshire, in the green valley of the river Itchen is the City of Winchester.At the heart of the City is the Norman cathedral. For hundreds of years pilgrims came to the Shrine of St Swithun.Also in the city is are the remains of Wolvesley castle and the house where Jane Austen lived the latter part of her life, she is buried in the Cathedral.There is so much history to be seen in this city and we spent several hours exploring it today. Although Winchester is only 20 miles away we had never really spent much time exploring it. it is a place we will be sure to go back to and explore some more of its interesting history.
Mattie loved it just as he loved York on his last visit.
I am having a little trouble posting photos tonight so maybe I will come back and edit this at a later date.
