Winchester is recognised for its history, featuring one of Europe’s largest Cathedrals and Wessex’s former Saxon capital, combining historic, Georgian and Victorian architectural charm. With excellent transport links to London and the South Coast, Winchester is one of the UK’s most desirable areas to live. Winchester exudes cobbled lanes, old English public houses, traditional eateries, lively markets, and artisan shops, making the city a vibrant place to live and work, attracting young professional families and retirees alike.

Being small geographically, those who live in Winchester are never far from countryside typical of the Hampshire landscape and there are lovely walks to be enjoyed adjacent to Winchester College grounds, through the water meadows and riverside walks which link the Cathedral and Wolvesey Palace to the 12th-century almshouses and church at St Cross.
