Winchester Discovery Centre and Library is an excellent Hampshire resource and one to put on your travel map. Why? The Gallery gets incredible national exhibitions and art shows that are well worth stopping by.

Recently they’ve had exhibitions from famous storyteller and illustrator Raymond Briggs, Bafta winning artist Jonny Hannah and international photographer Paul Joyce.

This is a great gem to keep an eye on as there’s usually something really interesting to go and see.

Winchester City Museum curates the vast history of the city, once the capital of the UK. From Roman mosaics to Saxon and Victorian history, you’ll find out the key and varied events in Winchester’s history.

Great to add in to a morning or afternoon pottering around the city, take a look…

St. Giles Hill offers breath-taking views of Winchester, literally and figuratively. The climb to the top is steep, it’s a lot of stairs but, totally worth it because of THAT view!

Tie this into a wider walk and you’ll see the city like never before, you’ll find everything you need to know in this post.

The Westgate Museum in Winchester serves up glorious views and a slice of history. It’s small but leaves a big impact and is a great way to see a different side of the city.

Enter through the hidden side door and climb up the stone staircase for all to be revealed!

Winchester’s Military Quarter is home to six military museums. BUT, I’d argue the real draw here is the beautifully romantic landscaped setting.

Looking for a hidden garden right off the high street? This is for you.
