Southampton Town Walls

The North Town Wall runs from the Bargate to the Polymond Tower, including the two half-round interval towers, was built in the late 13th century. It replaced an earlier earthen rampart and timber palisade. The towers were originally equipped with arrow-slits most of which were converted to keyhole gunports in the late 14th century. A deep and wide moat ran along the front of the wall.
This wall, at the moment (late 2019) , is not available to be accessed or seen due to works around the wall but hopefully once the building has been done around it it will be open to be viewed.
The photos I have uploaded, front and rear views, is a true representation of the wall and were taken before work commenced around it. Some of the photos can also be seen on the Historic England website.

OK to see. Nothing special. Just go watch it if u don't have anything else to do at Southampton. Don't expect much

The start is really sad, closed for construction of more shops, but the rest is really nice. Lots of information. Don't forget the tudor house. This is a museum.

Southampton city walls are worth a visit. They are extensive - although of course now extensively ruined and broken by modern thoroughfares. There are also sections with housing built right next to it suggesting it’s less than a treasured asset. Some sections are beautifully illuminated at night and so worth returning to after dark.

Really astonishing construction by Romans!. I am blown away seeing these structures. The time and efforts they put in is unimaginable!. Would recommend to go through history of Southampton before you visit, really interesting..

Best kurdish food I loved

Having lived in Southampton a long time only recently taken the time to go round the old walls during covid 19 for exercise. And can recommend it both for the exercise and discovering the history of our city and heritage.

Southampton wouldn't be as interesting without them definitely worth a walk around.
