As the World Cup fever has started to pick up, fans all around are planning their itineraries in and around match locations in England. If you are planning to be there and cheer Team India, here’s a little something to see around Winchester in your free time. The place suits well for those planning to attend the matches to be held in The Rose Bowl, Southampton, hardly 20-minutes-drive away.
Calm, collegiate Winchester is a mellow must-see. The past still echoes strongly around the flint-flecked walls of this ancient cathedral city. It was the capital of Saxon kings and a power base of bishops, and its statues and sights evoke two of England’s mightiest myth makers: Alfred the Great and King Arthur (he of the round table). Winchester’s architecture is exquisite, from the handsome Elizabethan and Regency buildings in the narrow streets to the wondrous cathedral at its core, while its river valley location means there are charming waterside trails to explore.
