A regular spot for picnics, watching sunsets, frisbee, Smite and so much more.
St Giles hill has been one of our favourite spots whilst living in Winchester and will always remain a place to visit on returning to the area.
Originally belonging to the Bishop of Winchester, St Giles hill had once been the site of a Medieval fair in the late 11th century. Today the surrounding area has been partly developed with some of the most affluent houses of Winchester, but the summit and southwest slopes have been preserved as open spaces with views overlooking Winchester city.
A small container placed as a reminder of a well loved spot where many memories were made.
There are a variety of ways to access the hill, with steps from Bar End direction as well as the lower end of town. You can also access by road on Baring Road and there are a few parking bays available.
Our first cache so we hope you enjoy the find and the view. Ruth & Tim :)
