Winchester; Sunday, 05 April, 2015

Another long lie in and big breakfast before wandering up to the station to pick up the train out to Fareham. At Fareham I picked up the bus to go a couple of miles up the road to the small village of Titchfield and the former Abbey there.

The Abbey itself was converted, after the reformation, into a sumptuous palace but subsequently turned to rather spectacular ruins.

I had a long look round the ruins of the palace before heading back to the bus stop and taking the bus all the way back into Fareham to get some lunch.

As I had a day ticket for the bus I decided to go on a ride down to the neighbouring town of Gosport to have a bit of a look around, and grabbed a coffee in a café overlooking Portsmouth harbour.

I retraced my steps back to Fareham and the train back to Winchester, arriving back just in time to head out for dinner.
