Intro to Winchester
Sightseeing
You can't come to Winchester and not at least visit the outside of this majestic building.
On a dry day it's well worth having a picnic in the Cathedral Close. It's also worth a visit on a winter's evening as it looks spectacular in the dark.
There are many events run by and in The Cathedral so it is worth visiting their website to book a tour or a concert ticket.

Take a stroll along the River Itchen and you will soon be in beautiful countryside. Walk past the Hospital of St Cross (well worth a stop for coffee or to see the gardens if you are lucky enough to be there on a date they are open!). Continue along and up the hill - the city views from the top of the hill are always wonderful.
