Guided Walks in Romsey
You have an hour or two, a day, a weekend? Enjoy a walk in Romsey with a Green Badge Guide through Romsey's busy heart and less well-known places.
Find out about Romsey’s surprising past, links with royalty, remarkable people, the significance of the river Test and look carefully at Romsey’s diverse buildings including The Abbey, one of the finest examples of Norman building in England.
We shed light on why a visitor here was described as “being so drunk he must have been to Romsey!” or reminded he was, “In the heart of the Strong Country”. Who were Sir William Petty and Ann Green? You will soon grasp why Foreign Secretary Palmerston, a former Romsey resident, expostulated, “Born French! Live French! Die French? Have you no ambitions?” What is the mystery carving high up on the Abbey wall?
We arrange walks for groups of two or more persons to suit you, at any time of the week or year.
Please ask at the Heritage and Visitor Centre, 13 Church Street, opposite the Abbey or telephone 01794 524028.
Walks are usually about 75-90 minutes, costing £2 per adult (minimum total charge £10); accompanied children, under 12, free of charge.
We look forward to meeting you.
