Winchester was once the capital of England – and you discover why it’s fascinated generations of visitors when you see the fine Norman Cathedral, ancient school and quaint streets that wind their way up to the castle where ‘King Arthur's Round Table’ is on display. This is a fascinating town, with a rich history… the perfect spot for tea and cake.
Winchester Cathedral
Winchester Cathedral has been attracting pilgrims for 900 years – and contains hidden treasures including Anthony Gormley's Sound II, the Winchester Bible and Jane Austen's tomb.
Wolvesey Castle
Not far from the cathedral are the medieval remains of Wolvesey Castle, the residence of the powerful and wealthy Bishops of Winchester in the Middle Ages. The building was one of the most important Norman palaces of its time, and the grandeur can still be felt amongst the ruins today.
