ATTRACTIONS INCLUDE:
The Great Hall, one of the finest surviving aisled halls of the 13th century, contains the greatest symbol of medieval mythology, King Arthurs Round Table, and is all that now remains of Winchester Castle.
Winchester Cathedral offers a unique heritage of the life of the English nation; its stones tell the stories of Kings and Queens, statesmen and politicians. But here too you can find the loving labour and imprint of monks and pilgrims, writers and artists and working men and women.
Community has been at the heart of the Cathedral's identity since the Benedictine Monastery was established here over a thousand years ago. Today, Winchester Cathedral is home to an active Christian community, seeking to offer a warm Benedictine welcome to all its visitors and worshippers.
Located in the heart of the historic city of Winchester, City Museum tells the story of England’s ancient capital, the seat of Alfred the Great.
From its origins as an Iron Age trading centre to AngloSaxon glory, the last journey of Jane Austen to the hunt for King Alfred’s remains, explore the sights and sounds of Winchester past and present in the museum’s three galleries.
