LOCATION:
Oram's Arbour is a historic area that began as an Iron Age settlement, later influenced by the Romans, whose town wall ran through its eastern end-now traced by Clifton Road. Today, it's a popular, tree-lined park featuring a striking double avenue of lime trees along its western edge. The park has served various roles, including WWII vegetable growing and for formerly hosting the annual Winchester Hat Fair. Today, this small grassy park stands as a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. It's the perfect spot for a leisurely afternoon picnic, a quiet read, or a casual stroll. Families, couples, and individuals alike can bask in the tranquillity of nature, all while being surrounded by the echoes of past performances.
