Winchester is considered to be the first capital of England. It was built about 70 AD as a Roman town. This was a market place with many shops and public buildings and the forum in the centre.

The last Roman soldier left Britain in 407. Town life then was broken down.

Late in the 9th century Alfred the Great, the first king of all England, was crowned here. He revived the old Roman town. It then became and remained the capital and the most important city in England until the 11th century and the arrival of William the Conqueror. However, by the 14th century the city had lost its place as the second most important city and began to change into what it is today – a small, sleepy, provincial town.

At present Winchester combines the best of city life with the freshness of the surrounding countryside.

With popular tourist attractions and architecture including a magnificent cathedral, award-winning pubs and restaurants and a variety of shops, Winchester is a popular tourist destination.

Most of the things to see and do in Winchester, and the places to eat, drink and sleep are within an easy walking distance from each other and the railway station.

Winchester is surrounded by picturesque Hampshire villages and beautiful countryside of the South Downs National Park. So, you can take a walk towards Twyford along water meadows, and on St Catherine`s Hill.

On balance, Winchester is a beautiful historic city not far from London, and it is surely worth a visit.
