The
ancient, wistful and often eye-wateringly lovely cathedral city of
Winchester is a must for all visitors to the region. A capital of Saxon
kings and power-base of bishops, the city’s rich history is reflected in
heroic statues, handsome Elizabethan and Regency buildings, narrow
winding streets and above all, the wondrous cathedral that marks its
centre. Thanks to its moist location, nestled in a valley of the River
Itchen, there are also charming waterside trails to explore, and as
walkers will be well aware, the city marks the beginning of the
beautiful South Downs Way.
