Guided
Tours
Winchester is one of the most beautiful cathedral cities in
the
country. For centuries it was the capital of Saxon and Norman
Kings of England and was the centre of King Alfred's Wessex.
Its past is preserved in its famous monuments: the Great Hall,
housing what is traditionally known as the Round Table of King
Arthur, Winchester College; St Cross and its medieval hospital;
the city's West Gate and, pre-eminently, the cathedral where
the famous Winchester illuminated Bible is displayed in the
Library.
