Local area guide
Skip hire in Winchester
Winchester is a cathedral city and the county town of Hampshire. It sits in the valley of the River Itchen on the western edge of the South Downs, about 12 miles north of Southampton. The city has a population of around 50,000, and it is one of the most historic places in England. The Romans founded it as Venta Belgarum. It later became the capital of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex and, for a time, the chief city of England.
Winchester is closely tied to King Alfred the Great, who made the city his base in the 9th century and is thought to be buried here. A large bronze statue of Alfred stands at the eastern end of the Broadway. Winchester Cathedral is the city's most famous landmark. It has one of the longest medieval naves in Europe, and it is the resting place of the novelist Jane Austen, who spent her final weeks in a house on College Street. Nearby, the Great Hall is all that survives of Winchester Castle. It displays a famous medieval Round Table linked to the legend of King Arthur.
Education has shaped the city for centuries. Winchester College, founded in 1382 by William of Wykeham, is one of the oldest schools in the country and gives the city much of its character. The University of Winchester adds a large student population. The Hospital of St Cross, just south of the centre, is one of England's oldest almshouses and still houses brothers in their traditional robes. It still offers visitors the ancient "Wayfarer's Dole" of bread and ale.
Walks along the River Itchen and across the water meadows to St Cross are a favourite with locals. The poet John Keats walked this route in 1819 and wrote his ode To Autumn soon afterwards. The pedestrianised High Street, with its medieval Buttercross, is busy with independent shops, cafés and markets. The city hosts one of the country's largest farmers' markets and a well-known Christmas market in the Cathedral Close. St Catherine's Hill and the wider South Downs National Park are right on the doorstep.
Winchester is on the South West Main Line, with fast trains to London Waterloo in about an hour and frequent services to Southampton and Basingstoke. The M3 passes just east of the city, giving quick road access to London, Southampton and the south coast. Winchester's homes include Georgian townhouses and period cottages in the historic centre and Victorian terraces in areas such as Fulflood and Hyde. There are post-war family homes in suburbs like Stanmore, Weeke and Harestock, and large new neighbourhoods such as Kings Barton to the north.
