Winchester Tourist Information and Visitor Guide

Once the capital of England, the lovely cathedral city of Winchester is a fascinating mix of ancient history and bustling market town. High on the wall in the Great Hall of The Castle, see King Arthur's Round Table (or so they say). Stroll down the hill, past The Buttercross and the Cathedral and head out to the water meadows to see the ruins of the Bishop's Palace.
