주교 서튼 최고의 사이클링 경로

멋진 마을, 넓은 거리, 자전거 주차하기 쉬움. 카페에 들어가지 않고도 앉을 수 있는 멋진 벤치가 많습니다. 성 요한 세례자 교회는 방문할 가치가 있으며 근처 Coffee #1에서 즐거운 휴식을 취했습니다.

2026년 5월 토요일 늦은 오전 시간에 지나갔을 때 열려 있었습니다. 아마도 제 카미노 잉글레스(Camino Inglés)의 교회적 하이라이트였을 사랑스러운 교회입니다. 특히 교회 뒤쪽에 설치된 '기도 텐트'가 마음에 들었습니다. 이 교회가 윈체스터 - 캔터베리 순례길에도 있다는 점은 주목할 만하며, 일종의 영적 교차로입니다.

매우 조용한 도로에 있는 수경 재배를 위한 역사적인 수로. 완벽한 자전거 횡단로가 있는 여울이 바로 옆에 있습니다.

The striking bronze statue of King Alfred the Great is one of Winchester's most recognizable landmarks, dominating The Broadway at the eastern end of the High Street near the River Itchen. Sculpted by Sir Hamo Thornycroft, the colossal, 15-foot-tall figure was erected in 1901 to commemorate the millennium of the king's death—a pivotal figure who made Winchester his capital and is credited with being "The Founder of the Kingdom and Nation," as inscribed on its granite base. Depicting a heroic, bearded Alfred in a regal stance with a downward-pointing sword hilt forming a cross, the statue celebrates his dual role as a military champion against the Vikings and an early Christian leader, all while standing proudly in the city he helped define.

The Sword: Alfred is shown grasping a large, cross-hilted sword with the point facing downwards. This posture is symbolic, representing not just his prowess as a warrior who defended his kingdom against the Vikings, but also his role as a Christian leader, with the hilt forming the shape of a cross. The Pedestal: The statue rests on a large pedestal of Cornish granite, which is inscribed with just one word: AELFRED. Historical Portrayal: Thornycroft's depiction is a romanticized, heroic one—showing Alfred with a long, flowing beard—even though contemporary coins suggest the King was clean-shaven. The monument represents the Victorian-era idea of Alfred as a perfect warrior, statesman, and philosopher king.

The statue depicts Alfred the Great (847–899 AD), who was the King of the West Saxons and is traditionally regarded as the first King of the Anglo-Saxons and the founder of the Kingdom of England. Winchester was his capital. Sculptor: Sir Hamo Thornycroft, a highly-regarded Royal Academician. Completion: It was completed in 1901, although it was commissioned to mark the millennium of King Alfred's death (which was in 899 AD). Size: The bronze statue is monumental, standing at 15 feet (4.57 m) high and weighing about five tons. The total height with its granite pedestal is around 40 feet. Location: It stands prominently at the eastern end of The Broadway, near the junction with Bridge Street and Eastgate Street, with the High Street extending behind it toward the city centre.
