Leisure Breaks
An unspoilt cathedral city on the edge of the South Downs, Winchester is England's ancient capital and former seat of King Alfred the Great. Today, Winchester combines the best of city life with the freshness of the surrounding countryside. One hour from London, this is England as it ought to be. Popular for its shopping streets and architecture, its floral summer season and quirky open air events, Winchester is most well known for its eleventh century cathedral and for the Great Hall which for over 600 years has housed the mysterious Round Table. Winchester also has lots of things to do for children of all ages including Marwell Zoo, Paultons Park and Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway.
If you want to just getaway for the weekend to relax and unwind, The Winchester Hotel is ideal. Enjoy a drink in the bar or on the terrace, have dinner in Hutton's, breakfast in bed and then lounge by the pool in revive Health club. For those of you who want a lie in, you can request a late check out at weekends!
