St Cross

Head south out of Winchester and you come to an impressive church. It is part of the hospital and alms houses of St Cross and, while it looks like a cathedral, it is just a normal church. Not only does it look good, but it is also situated in a lovely valley alongside the river. We took a walk down by St Catherine’s Hill and then crossed the valley to return up the river. This gave us both a good view across the valley then close up to the church. Here are some shots to show it off. It must be considered picturesque because it is used as the cover photo for the Ordnance Survey map of the area!
