Winchester Cathedral, Winchester

I absolutely love the Cathedral. It used to be one of my favourite places when I was a child. The history is fascinating and the building itself is beautiful. The gardens are stunning and looked after. An absolutely gorgeous place to spend a couple of hours with family or friends.

I was little underwhelmed by the venue Maybe me but I expected given its reputation and history a bit more. The entry fee of £9.50 for a concetion which I thought reasonable in today's world and we were given a guide which was very informative and appreciated. No restriction on photo's as some venues have. All in all a pleasant experience and the entry ticket valid for a year which is common now a days.

Great way to relive the history of the relationship between Kings and the Church. The building and relics allow you meditate and hover between past and present. Opens your mind and gives you the opportunity to reflect on many historical events that had influenced traditions.

Can spend hours herein. For best experience do join a tour group and listen to the guide. Before leaving the Cathedral, sit in silence for a while and feel the past (and the Spirit).

So much English history enshrined in one place and so many famous figure heads but it was William Walker the deep sea diver who saved the cathedral from flooding and has his own place in the annals. Ironically the crypt and Gormley's statue was bone dry. This place is inspirational and I will return.
