From its earliest days during the Roman occupation when it was known as Venta Belgarum, to its current status as an important seat of learning & county town of Hampshire, Winchester has a proud & distinctive identity.
It also boasts regal connections right up until the reign of Charles II & a 900-year-plus military presence from William I until the 1980s. This extraordinary history is embodied in the rich architecture that has shaped this beautifully preserved city, famed for its Gothic cathedral.
