Things to do in Winchester

But this city has plenty more to offer, why not explore the 13th century Great Hall, which is all that remains of Winchester Castle. Now a museum, discover the history of this medieval place, visit Queen Eleanor’s Garden and admire the iconic Round Table and stained-glass windows. Meander the streets of Winchester, pondering the Gothic buildings which surround you, or wander along the River Itchen and see lots of wildlife visible from its banks. Or even use the city as your base to explore the beautiful South Downs National Park.
