Like many places we visited, Winchester has a long and rich history dating back to prehistoric and Roman times.  Today, the Hampshire County Councils are based in Winchester, and it is said to be one of the most desirable cities in England in which to live. I can understand why.  It was a lovely city to visit, and as it was directly on the way to London from Lymington via M3, it is within easy distance of several major cities.

At the end of this post is a bonus recipe for bread pudding.
