Southampton Walls

18 Oct 2002

On an overcast autumn day we are at Southampton Walls; this section is along Town Quay, which is in the Lansdowne Hill area of Southampton, Hampshire.

Travel Details
We made our way to one of the bus stops along Romsey Road; this is in the Maybush area of the city. From there we caught the number 15 bus, run by Solent Blue Line, to our destination, which was just a short walk away.

About the Destination
The Southampton Walls are a sequence of defensive structures built around the then town. Around half the length of the 2-km-long (1.24-mi-long) medieval walls still survives, mainly on the north and west sides.

Purpose of Visit
We travelled here to provide a critique — which you can see here — for the Bus World Reviews section.
