    Vibrant. Ancient. Cultured.

    A city steeped in history, Winchester is England’s ancient capital and former seat of King Alfred the Great.

    Today Winchester combines the best of city life with the freshness of the surrounding countryside. One hour from London, this is England as it used to be.

    With world class attractions and architecture including a magnificent college, award-winning pubs and restaurants and a tempting array of independent shops. This culturally rich medieval city is surrounded by idyllic Hampshire villages and the fabulous rolling countryside of the South Downs National Park.
