Sightseeing
If you are interested in history, Winchester Cathedral has a wealth of it. From the heroic actions of William Walker to the burial place of Jane Austin. The Anthony Gormley statue in the crypt is a must, especially if the water table is high.

The Great Hall, “one of the finest surviving aisled halls of the 13th century”, contains the greatest symbol of medieval mythology, King Arthur's Round Table, and is all that now remains of Winchester Castle.
The iconic Round Table of Arthurian legend that has dominated Winchester’s ancient Great Hall for centuries. This is one of the finest surviving examples of a 13th century aisled hall and is an enhancement of the original Winchester Castle built by William the Conqueror.

We were lucky enough to get married at St Swithun upon Kingsgate which is a Church of England church in Winchester, built in the Middle Ages in the Early English style. Located above the medieval Kingsgate, one of the principal entrances to the city, the church is unusual in forming a part of the fabric of the old city walls. St Swithun's first appears in 13th century records. Worth a quick visit up the steps .
