THE GREAT HALL REVIEWS

This is an incredible historical building. Inside, there's the famous Round Table linked to King Arthur's legends, which is pretty impressive. The size of it seeing it hanging up on the wall is astounding. It really brings the legends to life when you see it in front of you. It's like stepping into a history book but cooler. You can almost hear stories of kings and important stuff that happened here. The stained glass with the names of the kings is amazing. The painted wall with names of those in parliament is awe inspiring. I also loved seeing the gates which were specially made for Diana's wedding with their initials carved on the top. If history's your thing, it's a gold mine. But even if history doesn't sound interesting to you, the Great Hall is stunning. The architecture is a mix of strength and elegance that's just beautiful. It's definitely worth the entry fee. Visiting here isn't just a regular visit to a museum. It's like getting a real feel for England's past. It's a chance to see, learn, and appreciate how amazing this country's history is.

Spent a very pleasant morning exploring The Great Hall, Westgate Museum and the City Museum on a Winchester Explorer Ticket, which allowed entrance to all 3 attractions. Lots of information in the Great Hall and, of course, King Arthur's Round Table hung on the wall. I think it took us around 1.5 hours to visit the 3 attractions but tickets were very good value and even got 10% off an annual ticket when ordered online. Would recommend.

Takes you back to a time long gone. HISTORICAL and MAGICAL at the same time. Well worth a visit and a lot to see and read about. Decent value at £4 to help with the upkeep of our great history of this land. Recommended to all. Well enjoyed!

WINCHESTER CITY MILL REVIEWS

A fascinating piece of history brought to life! Winchester City Mill is a must-see for anyone interested in learning about how things used to be done. The mill itself is beautifully restored, and the volunteers are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about sharing the history of milling. It's amazing to see the mill in action and to be able to buy fresh stone-ground flour. The on-site wildlife observation cameras are a great bonus, especially for families with kids. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable and educational experience.

A real hidden gem right in the middle of Winchester. When I visited the river was very, very high and the mill itself wasn't working, but standing in among the machinery with the water rushing through at alarmingly fast speeds was really atmospheric. The new(ish) island garden has some beautiful daffodils that are very much unlike any I've ever seen, and some lovely river views. Didn't go in the café but it looked lovely as well. Just a great little NT property that I really recommend.

Great selection of interesting and unusual books museum and cafe. Lovley seating area outside like Bali or some where similarly beautiful good spot . .

KING ALFRED THE GREAT STATUE REVIEWS

I love this Victorian statue, even though it seems to be in the middle of a mini car park!

It's a statue of King Alfred. If you like Anglo Saxon history, he is the OG. Well worth a quick detour to take a look as it is an impressive bronze.

Statue standing right at the centre of the street and the city. Located near the main bus station and Abbey gardens. Worth a quick stop as the street and location itself are beautiful.
