Hyde900: King Alfred's Last Journey - a child friendly trail between the three burial sites of Alfred the Great.
St Bartholomew's Church, King Alfred Place, Hyde, Winchester, Hampshire, SO237DF
Pick up the leaflet from Winchester City Museum and follow in the steps of the 12th century procession that carried King Alfred's coffin from New Minster to Hyde Abbey. This self-guided trail is designed principally for children but adults will also discover some interesting historical facts along the way. There are more activities and events to explore when you arrive at your destination.
The trail can be combined with other Hyde900 events and offers an interesting route to Hyde900s base at St Bartholomew's church where you'll find activities for children, medieval tile making and much more.
Please note that this is a self-guided event, and people are responsible for their own safety when undertaking this trail.
