Cathedral Circular
From the leafy exterior of Winchester's Cathedral, this route moves quickly into the city centre, then past a Middle Ages' gate and an ancient Hall housing King Arthur's Round Table.

Arriving at a more gentle side to Winchester, with charming houses, steeped in memories, you finally return to the Cathedral for a well earned rest.

Cathedral to Gardens
Past the cathedral's choir school, and through an ancient gate, you tumble into some of Winchester's quaint and timeless streets. Take a look at Winchester College, then Wolvesey Castle, and walk alongside the River Itchen, before ending at the fabulous Abbey Gardens.
