City Walking Tours

City Walking Tours

City Walking Tours take place throughout the year, departing from the Tourist Information Centre (see map), and lasting between 1 and 1½ hours.

Accessibility: All City Walking Tours are accessible to wheelchair users.

Tickets: £5 for adults with accompanying children FREE.

Note: Tickets can be purchased on the day from the Tourist Information Centre.

 

There are three different city walking tours (see table below for dates and times):

Kings and Castles takes you around the centre of Winchester, passing the cathedral, the Great Hall and the site of King Charles II's royal palace.

Mitres and Mortarboards follows the River Itchen before passing Wolvesey Castle, Winchester College, Jane Austen's House and the Cathedral Close.

City Highlights focuses on the centre of Winchester. In winter this tour takes into account the interests of the group and the prevailing weather conditions.

FREE tours will be available on 17 March and 8 September.
