Winchester Cathedral as it stands today was built from 1079 to 1532 and is dedicated to numerous saints, most notably Swithun of Winchester. It has a very long and very wide nave in the Perpendicular Gothic style, an Early English retrochoir, and Norman transepts and tower. With an overall length of 558 feet (170 m), it is the longest medieval cathedral in the world The breathtaking reredos, otherwise known as the Great Screen, of Winchester Cathedral was built between 1455-75. The statues were destroyed during the 16th century Reformation, so the ones you see there today were added in the 19th century. #winchestercathedral #reredos #gothicarchitecture #medieval #cathedralsofinstagram

❣️The Great Hall & Winchester Castle There is so much history to this spot that it simply couldn’t all be covered- but you may recognise the name “Judge Jeffreys” that is mentioned - see my previous reel on the Eclipse Inn for why! The Great Hall is one of the best surviving aisled halls from the 1200’s and has featured in tv shows such as Wolf Hall #history #historyblogger #visitwinchester #thingstodoinhampshire #winchestercastle #englishhistory #historyreels #discoverunder6k #discoverunder10k

Was this view worth the 1 hour hike? They weren’t exaggerating when they named the Long Walk. Stretching 3 miles from the Windsor Castle to The Copper Horse, this view is a 2 hour return journey. For me, the view is iconic and is worth the walk. Just make sure you’re not lugging 5kg worth of camera gear and an overnight bag when you do this walk 😆. And on a side note, if there is only one castle you need to visit in England, it’ll be Windsor Castle. Home to the royal family, visitors can view art from the royal collection amongst other things. Windsor itself is a beautiful town and worth a day trip from London. Would you walk 1 hour for this view? ————————- With @twinktraveller My dress is from @sondeflor PR #windsor #windsorcastle #thelongwalk #berkshire #visitengland #castlesofengland #londondaytrip #lovegreatbritain #visitengland #photosofengland

Castles are magnificent fortresses that stand as timeless symbols of power, protection, and prestige. Originating in medieval Europe around the 9th century, they were built by kings, nobles, and knights to defend territories, control lands, and showcase authority. Constructed mainly from stone, castles featured towering walls, moats, drawbridges, and watchtowers designed to withstand sieges and attacks. Beyond their defensive strength, castles also served as luxurious homes, political centres, and symbols of noble lineage. Over the centuries, as warfare evolved and peace spread across Europe, castles transformed from military fortresses into grand residences and architectural masterpieces. Many were expanded with ornate halls, gardens, and decorative art, reflecting the tastes of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. Today, castles captivate visitors with their history, mystery, and romance from the fairy-tale turrets of Bavaria to the rugged ruins of Scotland. They remain living reminders of a world where stone walls once shaped the fate of nations and the dreams of generations. . . . 🎥 by charlie.hfm/tiktok . . . . . . . . . . . . . #CastlesOfTheWorld #MedievalMajesty #TimelessFortresses #HistoricWonders #CastleLovers #StoneAndStory #AncientArchitecture #KingdomsAndKnights #FairytaleCastles #TravelThroughTime #RoyalHeritage #LegendsInStone #HistoricBeauty #ExploreHistory #CastleDreams #WondersOfThePast #architecture #castle #castles #travel #history #castlesofinstagram #castlesoftheworld #castlesofeurope
