About historical walks

Discover the stories behind the streets

Visiting the south coast? There is no better way to get to know a city than on foot. Our guided historical walks take you beyond the familiar landmarks to hidden buildings, remarkable characters and tales stretching back hundreds of years.

Descend into Southampton's medieval vaults, follow the Titanic, Mayflower and Spitfire, uncover Winchester's secrets or trace Nelson and D-Day through Portsmouth.

Join a scheduled walk or arrange a private tour for your family, friends or colleagues, and see the city from a completely different perspective.
