Cathedral Quarter, Winchester

Plan my visit to Winchester Cathedral

Explore one of Europe's great medieval cathedrals, with Kings and Scribes, royal history, Jane Austen and a quiet Close

Winchester Cathedral is a major historic cathedral in the centre of Winchester, with more than 900 years of worship and welcome behind the present building. Visitors come for the scale of the medieval architecture, the atmosphere of a living cathedral, Jane Austen's final resting place and the story of Winchester as an Anglo-Saxon and Norman power centre.

The visit works well as a focused 20- to 60-minute stop or a slower heritage visit. The Kings and Scribes exhibition, included with admission, adds the Winchester Bible, the Morley Library and the story of the cathedral's origins and rebuilding.
