Southampton’s town walls were built after the Norman Conquest and extended between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries. More than a mile survives, with over a dozen towers and several gates: start at the Bargate, follow the arcades of Western Esplanade past the Mayflower Memorial, and finish at God’s House Tower by the water.
