Winchester Cathedral, Hampshire

Winchester Cathedral is one of the largest in England and has the longest nave and overall length of any Gothic cathedral in Europe.

It is the seat of the Bishop of Winchester and was built in 1079. Many people visit the cathedral because of its association with Jane Austen who also happens to be buried in the north aisle of the nave.

From Monday to Saturday at 10am, 11am, 12 noon, 1pm, 2pm & 3pm visitors can join a tour on the general history and overview of the Cathedral which lasts about an hour.

For those who like views, there is also a tour of the tower where you can explore the bell chamber and walk the entire nave roof. The bell chamber is of great interest as it contains the only diatonic ring of 14 church bells in the world.

The visitors centre contains a shop and an award winning restaurant where you can dine in style.
