The city of Winchester is both beautiful and old. The quaint shops and narrow streets invite you to stop and have a look. The water flowing beneath and old mill is picturesque. Winchester cathedral is the longest cathedral in England and is well worth the visit. We stayed in Southampton and this little side trip was easily accessible with National...

What’s not to like?
The city is charming and the cathedral beautiful!
We were kindly welcomed and the guided tour was extensive and complete.
The cathedral is vast but there is an intimate feel to it. It does not have the grandeur of Westminster Abbey but it makes it a warm and comforting place.
We feel the weight of the...

A stunning cathedral set in a beautiful, leafy close with convenient pubs and cafes ranging around the surrounds. The interior of the cathedral matches the exterior. Stained glass, striking pillars, wonderful carving and sculpture. Along with Wells and York, right up there with the best that English cathedrals have to offer. You are requested to make a donation - do...

Wonderful building of course but our visit was so enhanced by the knowledge and enthusiasm of the volunteers. I have never seen a cathedral so well endowed with such support. If visiting do take a guided tour (free on the hour every day)
The volunteer who talked to us about the Winchester bible was also excellent - don't miss seeing...

Really interesting. This is the place to see all those Saxon kings we learned about at school. At least their coffins anyway.

I visited Winchester Cathedral on a guided tour a couple of months ago and I found it really interesting. Our guide, Ms Barbara, decided not to focus on the classic and normal information you receive when visiting a church, but on interesting and strange facts that happened to and in the Cathedral. Besides, it's really magnificent. I strongly recommend it!...

One of Britains finest cathedrals. Jane Austen is buried here, pleanty of content inside. Voluntary contribution on a sunday, however so many people walk out without contributing, such a shame as the upkeep costs thousands of pounds, this enables all of us to visit. Would highly recommend

I object to having to pay to visit a Cathedral. The Cathedral itself is Beautiful and a landmark in the South of England, but I felt intimidated at the door with a request to pay £6.50 to visit.
