The oldest (1133) and the largest medieval almshouse in Britain. It continues the ancient tradition of the Wayfarer's Dole which consists of a small cup of ale and a piece of bread provided on request from the porter. The grounds are just magnificent. You may recognise the Master's Garden used in archery scenes in Wolf Hall TV programme.

Take a short tour of the school founded by Bishop William of Wykeham in 1382 to replenish the clerics lost to the Plague. It consistently ranks as one of the best schools in the World - and now educates girls too. The school buildings take up a large part of St Cross south of the Cathedral Kings Gate arch (used for film sets such a Les Miserables)

Winchester Castle was founded in 1067 by William the Conqueror shortly after his victory at the Battle of Hastings. In 1222 Henry III, with his love of architecture, began the construction of one of the earliest Gothic styled medieval halls. Thomas Malory, the 15th century author of Le Morte D’Arthur, identified Winchester as the site of Camelot. The iconic Round Table, famously linked to the legends of King Arthur and his Knights, dominates the Great Hall.
