Winnall Moors Nature Reserve
Winnall Moors Nature Reserve is a protected meadowland, in the centre of Winchester, with a chalk stream running through it and has an abundance of wildlife.
The River Itchen flows through the length of the reserve providing water for wet grassland, reedbeds, wet woodland and streams. This wetland haven is a wonderful place to escape city life and with its many paths, boardwalks and bridges there’s no need to wear wellies.
The best time to visit is the summer to enjoy the lush oasis character of the nature reserve, a stone’s throw from the city. Wildflowers, close encounters with deer and a glimpse of kingfishers make for a magical visit.
The Durngate entrance is at Durngate Place, Winchester, SO23 8DX, opposite the Willow Tree pub.
