Winchester

 On an extremely rainy bank holiday Monday, we headed to Winchester. Our first stop was to see King Arthur's Round Table which is held in the Great Hall. There's a small entry fee. The Great Hall has a gallery and the main hall, although small, it holds the Round Table with a small garden in the back. 

We then headed to the Town Centre with plenty to see and places to go. There's also a shopping centre which is the home of an immersive experience called 878 AD focusing on Anglo-Saxons Winchester. It took about 45minutes and quite basic which we were all a bit disappointed. 

We then walked to Winchester Cathedral and quickly went in to see around. Next, we headed to Wolvesey Castle with a beautiful walk along the river. The Castle (its ruins) is free to explore and was beautiful. I love ruins! There's something so majestic about visiting ruins and all the history that it holds.

Finally, we then visited the Water Mill, as part of the National Trust, which is free to visit. We really enjoyed visiting the Mill and reading about the history. It also had lots of interactive stations for the children. We could also go down to the river level and see the actual mill which my eldest liked a lot!

Overall, it was a nice day trip for a family with older children.
