Keats' Walk: 1

The walk begins at the Tourist Information Centre (1) in the Victorian Guildhall, close to King Alfred's Statue (2). It is likely that Keats' lodgings were on the north side of the cathedral and the High Street, however the exact address is unknown.

Turn left outside the Tourist Information Centre and walk up the High Street. Take the second left into Market Street, continue to the 'beautiful front' of the cathedral (3).

Winchester's world-famous cathedral was already 725 years old when Keats visited. Two years previously Jane Austen had been buried here, although there is no mention of her literary occupation on her tombstone in the north aisle. Keats would walk up and down the aisle reading letters from Fanny Brawne.
