The Weirs is a stunning walkway located at the bottom of the high street and behind Wolvesey Palace and the cathedral. Swans, ducks and moorhens are often seen paddling about and the stretch is amazingly serene, considering it's just a stone's throw from the main thoroughfare.

The Weirs is a good starting point for walks along the Itchen, an important chalk stream and abundant in fish and wildlife. The Itchen Way, a long-distance footpath, also runs along this lane.

A very beautiful and interesting path along the river; there's always something to see and it's never boring. Plus, there's usually a fresh breeze, so it's very pleasant even in warmer temperatures.

Lovely part of Winchester. Nice footpaths and plenty of places to take a break and chill out.
