Overview

A beautiful day out by First Class train to Winchester, 60 miles SW of London. Winchester was the famed capital of England in the time of legendary Kind Alfred The Great . We will see spots relating to Jane Austen, the beautiful Cathedral and old town, Great Hall and watermill as well the round table of King Arthur and his knights. Winchester is such beautiful old city, rarely visited by foreign travellers despite there being nowhere more quintessentially English with old fashioned teashops, sweets and perhaps the oldest pub in the kingdom. Winchester is said by many to be the possible site of Camelot, what more magical way to spend a day than here. I can't think of a nicer day out of London than Winchester and with a private tour, you can see as much or as little as you like.

What To Expect

1. The Great Hall Home to King Arthur's iconic Round Table, Winchester's Great Hall is one of the finest medieval aisled halls of the 13th Century. There is also a beautiful medieval style garden behind the hall. 20 minutes

2. See this ancient memorial to the plague in Winchester and find out why this spot was chosen to remember one of the worst moments in history. 5 minutes

3. Explore what remains of Winchester Castle that was largely ruined in the Civil War 10 minutes

4. Winchester Buttercross Admire this restored 14th Century monument in the heart of the this historic shopping district of Winchester. 5 minutes

5. Winchester Cathedral Explore and admire one of the finest Cathedrals anywhere. Dating from 1093AD it is the resting place of many of the great and the good. Home to a fantastic medieval tiled carpet, wondrous medieval Bibles and amongst others, the grave of Jane Austen. 45 minutes

6. Statue of Alfred the Great Learn about King Alfred, the only monarch in all this time bestowed as being The Great. Winchester was once the capital of England in the time of King Alfred. 5 minutes

7. Step back in time and see these wonderful old timber-framed houses under the gaze of Winchester Cathedral 10 minutes

8. Jane Austen House. Amongst the beautiful backstreets of Winchester, we can visit the outside of the home where Jane Austen died. Commemorated by a plaque on the front of the old building. 5 minutes

9. The medieval Bishops of Winchester were rich and powerful men, the relations and advisers of kings. Wolvesey, standing a stone's throw from Winchester Cathedral, was their main residence throughout the Middle Ages. The extensive remains date largely from the great 12th century palace of Bishop Henry of Blois, brother of King Stephen. Though ruinous, the buildings still evoke an impression of their former grandeur. The last great occasion here was on 25th July 1554, when the East Hall was transformed with silk and gold hangings for Queen Mary and Philip of Spain's wedding banquet. 45 minutes

10. If you want to put your feet up for a while, why not have a drink or a snack in this supremely historic old pub, a contender for the oldest in Britain and with strong connections to King Alfred The Great too. 30 minutes

11. Winchester City Mill Situated next to the oldest bridge in Winchester, this still functioning old mill is on the site of an earlier Roman mill. A great little place to explore and home to a cafe with delicious scones, 20 minutes
