What you can expect

  • In this walking tour of Winchester you will travel through the centuries to unlock the history of this once powerful town. You will learn about the origins of the city and its apogee at the time of Alfred the Great and William the Conqueror as capital of the country.

    We will discover off the beaten path hidden gems, walk by impressive buildings such as the famous Winchester Cathedral, and learn about the serious impact the English Civil War had on this town. The trails and stories will take us up to Victorian times, and you will learn why this town was spared of bombing during the Second World War.

    Picturesque spots for pictures are guaranteed - and your guide will be happy to take them for you!
