Fabulous windows at the parish church of St John the Baptist, Boldre. The stained glass window in the 13th century porch depicts St Nicholas. A much newer Millennium Window was engraved by Tracey Sheppard and it shows beautiful scenes of the church with rivers, flora and fauna. #StainedGlassSunday

Passed by Micheldever station and just had to take a closer look at the fabulous mural by Sian Storey celebrating local wildlife. The vibrant scene is called 'Our Rural Landscape' #Micheldever #StreetArt #Hampshire

Appreciating our local amazing oaks. They should be treasured. This is part of the magnificent Oakley Oak, Mottisfont. It's a pedunculate oak and over 800 years old. #ThickTrunkTuesday

The gorse in the forest is looking great at the moment. This shock of yellow is on a tumuli near Marchwood Inclosure car park - SO45 5TJ. Great views from the top!

Not your normal blue plaque! This one's on Plestor House, opposite Gilbert White's House in Selborne. It's for Sullivan Black, ‘Libertine, opium-eater, drunkard, duellist, gambler, and wastrel' and the fun character has a name that has uncanny links with the real man that lived opposite.

The Round Table hangs in the far end of The Great Hall which is all that remains of #Winchester Castle. The Round table is linked with the legend of #KingArthur.

The castle was built in 1067 & the hall, built during the reign of King Henry III, is one of the finest medieval halls in the country.

The Retrochoir medieval tile pavement at @wincathedral.bsky.social Many are from the 13th century and are of international value. The pavement is one of the most significant examples in-situ medieval tiles in Europe. The tiles have a variety of repeating patterns and examples of Wessex designs.

If you’re visiting Winchester Cathedral, don’t forget to visit The Crypt.

It’s a beautiful setting for Antony Gormley’s life-size sculpture Sound II. Depending on the weather, the sculpture could be surrounded by water, giving fantastic reflections. The statue was installed in 1986.

On our Main Deck gallery, set up as a mirror image of the ship, you can see the carpenter's cabin as it would have been in 1545.

Well, minus the walls - they would make it much harder to see all his stuff inside!

Introducing Stilton the Steppe Eagle!

🦅 He's a very chatty chap, so make sure you swing by his aviary to say hello on your next visit.

🌍 Steppe Eagles are an Endangered species of bird of prey, and sadly it's estimated that populations have declined by around 60% since 2010.

Brass memorial plaque honouring Hampshire author Jane Austen.

It can be found on the wall near her tomb in Winchester Cathedral.

This year is a significant one for Jane Austen fans as it marks 250 years since her birth.

The awesome size of the giant sequoias on The Tall Trees Trail from Blackwater car park.

They're the largest trees in the New Forest, weigh over 100 tonnes and are still growing!

Down this narrow alley in Winchester is the Royal Oak pub.

It’s thought to be the oldest pub in England and was a ‘brewhouse’ by at least 1637.

Parts of the site may date as far back as 1002. It’s Grade II listed.
