It was such a surprisingly lovely and sunny week when I was away in Winchester that after I finished up at the National Trust Mill I decided it would be nice to have a walk along the River Itchen. I had a look on the Winchester Tourism site to see if there were any designated trails nearby. This was how I came across the Keat’s Trail/Walk. The poet John Keats had stayed in Winchester in 1819 and took this walk daily eventually inspiring him to write the poem “To Autumn”. The beginning of the trail starts around Winchester Cathedral and it just so happened that I had done that section already on my own visit to the Cathedral. Normally I write these post in the order that I did things, but on this occasion the first half of this post took place two days before the second half.
