Allow our professional Meet and Greet Service to welcome you to at Heathrow Airport. Collect your premium minivan and set off with friends and family to the city of Winchester. The one hour drive will take you through glorious British countryside to the city that was idolised in the iconic song ‘Winchester Cathedral’.
Head straight for the Cathedral. This magnificent venue cannot fail to impress. See the famous Winchester Bible and the longest Gothic nave in the world. The English novelist Jane Austen is buried here. Learn about the history of this fascinating building and the role of the Winchester Diver whose statue stands in the grounds.
Visit the Winchester Great Hall and King Arthur’s Round Table where historians can see the famous Round Table. Set off to the Kingsgate where the tiny church St. Swithun’s upon Kingsgate is perched atop the arch of the gate. Enjoy the sense of peace as you sit and reflect in the wooden pews.
Be thrilled by the River Itchen, a crystal clear chalk stream that flows through multiple channels in central Winchester. Visit the Winchester City Mill, an old water mill that has been fully restored to working order.
Stop for lunch at the Michelin-starred Black Rat. Expect wonderful way-out plates of cuttlefish, rabbit saddle, black garlic and seaweed salt.
The afternoon calls for a walk along the Three Castles Path followed by some retail therapy in the stores along Parchment and Southgate Streets.
