Hidden Southampton walking tour, including underground vaultsJoin us for a fascinating guided walk through Hidden Southampton, uncovering the city’s rich past both above and below the streets.
Explore the historic Old Town walls — standing since the 1300s — and venture underground into atmospheric medieval vaults hidden beneath the city. Along the way, our engaging guide will bring Southampton’s story to life, from the Romans, Saxons and Vikings to the powerful influence of Henry II and the thriving medieval trade in wine and wool that helped shape the busy port we know today.
