Mega mega busy. Car parks all full so we parked down a side road. Very pleasant 10 minute walk. It was a Sunday of course with Christmas market. We had 2 very small gluhweins for £15. Shocking, take your own in a flask!!

Was such a lovely cathedral lots of history. The tour was great and well presented. Lots to do around the area. Would recommend it.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience today. Entry fee is good value for money, you can get guided tours too included. Amazing, huge building with lots of history. Friendly staff and guides. Thanks for a lovely visit. Your ticket is also valid for a year but I still thought it was great value for one visit!

Remarkable building, with fantastic exhibitions and guides, well worth the price of entry and definitely worth checking out.The building remains a functioning church, but in addition it acts as a museum and art gallery. Definitely worth getting the guided tour, and make sure you check out the actual museum section (off to the right hand side towards the back of the church).

Located in the charming city of Winchester, the cathedral is an easy walk from the train station. Winchester is easily accessible by rail from London and I did it as day trip. If you walk a few minutes past the church you can also see the final home that Jane Austen lived in as well.The cathedral is grand combination of Norman and English gothic style. But honestly what you really probably want to know is that it’s just really lovely and set in beautiful grounds! The entire town is worthy of the trip with the charming high street and many listed buildings. It is worth the visit!
