Whitchurch Silk Mill and Winchester
The guided tour of Whitchurch Silk Mill will explain how silk is produced and made into beautiful silk fabrics. See the waterwheel and Victorian machinery, the beautiful garden on the banks of the River Test, and the shop which sells gifts made from the Mill’s exclusive silks.
You will then have the opportunity to spend the afternoon in Winchester. Perhaps visiting the Cathedral, the Great Hall and King Arthur’s Round Table, the Gurkha Museum or following the Winchester Tudor Trail.
