Curious About Southampton

About

Explore Southampton city centre with two self-guided heritage walks with a treasure hunt theme. Discover Southampton's "hidden treasures" whilst having a fun day out with family & friends!

Southampton is one of Britain's famous maritime cities, a major departure point for ocean-going liners, as well as the many ferries which scurry to and from its port. But Southampton is more than that – it has an Old Town, with remnants of a castle to explore & the walls which surrounded it, a medieval merchant's house, a 12th century city gate, a jaw-dropping Civic Centre & a 15th century Tudor House. It is also renowned for its many parks which run right through the centre, leading to the new & hugely impressive SeaCity Museum.

Curious About Southampton visits not just the obvious places, but some unusual ones too. Suitable for all ages, the walks take 1-2 hours each. Each walk booklet contains two walks, a brief history of Southampton, a detailed map with the walking routes marked, & a series of directions & clues. We also provide ideas for things to see & do on the way, pictures to identify & interesting snippets about the people & events that have shaped Southampton.
