Buttercross Monument

Beautiful historic city with its famous cathedral and environs. Excellent shopping well worth a visit and very close to the M4 motorway.

This is one of many historic monuments in this beautiful City of Winchester,there is so much to see and do,we only had half a day nowhere enough to see everything this place has to offer.We managed to see the City Mill,the City Museum and of course the magnificent Cathedral,it’s full of interesting shops,cafes and restaurants with local inns scattered around,making it a great place to visit where there is something for everyone.We had a fantastic day and can highly recommend you visit if you are touring in this area.👍

A very ornate 15th century holy cross halfway up the busy High Street. Medieval traders once sold dairy produce and eggs on the octagonal steps. Now it's a popular place for buskers and a great photo stop for tourists. A passage next to the monument leads to the cathedral. Lots of shops and cafes all along the High Street.

Interesting history of the monument!

Generation after generation has used this as a place to sit , meet , hang out and enjoy the High Street in Winchester . It unlike most things around it hasn't changed . It has always been a central landmark of the town and sees many a busker , actor , town crier , mime artist , orchestra and their thankful audience .

Great place to meet friends because it is hard to miss and also fairly central in Winchester ! Also there are usually buskers here.

This is usually a good place to listen to buskers.

It is often the case that there are many people seated around the Monument. It is worth seeing this place.
