Walk off into the Winchester Sunset this Valentine’s Day
Winchester Tourism is encouraging local residents to take advantage of the spectacular skies that grace the city just before dusk with the help of a self-guided trail called Sunset.The new leaflet is being released in time for Valentine’s Day and it’s hoped that, after treating themselves to the spectacular views that the walk affords, people will go on to dine at one of Winchester’s many high-quality eateries.
Winchester City Council’s Leader Cllr George Beckett, who holds the Portfolio for Economy and Tourism, said: “One of the Council’s highest priorities is to support local businesses as we recover from a difficult time for the economy. The tourism team has been looking for ways to promote the city’s evening economy, especially during the quieter winter months. Winchester is one of the most beautiful heritage cities in England and this campaign unites the special qualities of our cityscape with a more modern offering at our eateries, in one customer-focussed campaign.”
