http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34156 We took a three-day cycle on mountain bikes (with front suspension), though the route is suitable for any bike. A mixture of flat country-lanes and more difficult mountain slopes takes in a route used by traders for centuries. If the water-taps along the way do not suit your tastes, there are a number of rider-friendly pubs. Likewise, there are at least six bed and breakfast's for you to choose from before you finish at Beachy Head, which overlooks the English Channel.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34156 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32451 What better time than now to follow the route Keats took one autumn Sunday in 1819? You start out in the High Street where he lodged and end up at the Hospital of St. Cross which still doles out alms to the needy. It not only takes in many of Winchester's places of interest: the Cathedral (burial place of Jane Austen), Wolvesey Palace, Winchester College - but also passes along the beautiful banks of the River Itchen, which Keats described as "most beautifully clear". He also described the air as "worth sixpence a pint" - not sure how that rates after inflation!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32451 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28882 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/28882 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25214
The fish and chips Tuesdays are a really good deal and Sunday lunches are the best.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25214 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24350
The restaurant upstairs is spacious and has a French ambience, while the à la carte menu also introduces an international flavour.

Froggies bar at street level is an ideal rendezvous for a glass of wine or coffee, and also serves lunch and specials, with the signature bar planches.

The bar and restaurant takes reservations for private dining and festive functions, and Froggies is always open for 11am daily.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24350
