Things to do in Winchester

The city of Winchester, whose roots date back to the Iron Age, and which was hugely important during both the Roman and Medieval periods, still stands today, with cobbled streets and a mixture of ancient architecture which will transport you back to those times. Most famous for its stunning cathedral, this city has plenty more to offer, why not explore the 12th century castle, meander the streets, pondering the Gothic buildings which surround you, or even use it as your base for a day at the beautiful South Downs national park.
