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

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.

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.

Westgate Museum in Winchester has the unusual claim to fame of being inside a fortified medieval city gateway. Inside you can see Tudor and Stuart history, plus graffiti from when the building was a debtors' prison from the 16th-18th centuries. #WallsOnWednesday #Hampshire

The awesome size of the giant sequoias on The Tall Trees Trail from Blackwater car park. They're the largest trees in the #NewForest, weigh over 100 tonnes and are still growing! The easy 1.5 mile trail is free to visit.
There are toilets and a food truck at the car park.

‘Smugglers’ is a beautiful Grade II listed 18th century cottage in Sopley in the south-west of Hampshire. In 2015 a chimney fire caused it to be uninhabitable. The building, now restored, can be seen on the Christchurch to Ringwood road.

St. Michael’s Church, made of stone and flint, is a Grade I listed building and the oldest in Basingstoke.

It can be found in the heart of the town and is one of the finest late medieval churches in Hampshire.
