Winchester is one of the country's best-loved cities. Popular for its shopping streets and architecture, its floral summer season and quirky open air events, England's ancient capital is most well known for its eleventh century cathedral and mysterious Round Table. Home of good food, birthplace of the modern game of cricket, resting place of Jane Austen and inspiration to the many artists who live here, Winchester is a destination for all seasons.
