About Royal Blood Trail
Winchester has been a focus for royal activity and patronage since the Early Middle Ages when it was the effective capital of Wessex under the Saxon kings. A succession of royal residences were constructed here and the cathedral has been a key location for royal ceremonial and important events such as weddings and a site for coronations and royal tombs.
Be guided around Winchester, this trail marks the connections between the particular places in the city which have featured in royal visits and events from the Saxon era to the present day.
