Our Local Area

We love where we live in the heart of Winchester and just a hop, skip and a jump away from the countryside, whether you're staying for business or pleasure, there are a number of fantastic places to visit on our doorstep.

Your stay in Winchester

You’re right in the heart of it at the Westgate, and within a short drive you’ll find Marwell Zoo, the picturesque South Downs way and the Bombay Sapphire distillery. Being situated in the heart of Winchester means there’s plenty of retail therapy and exploring on foot of Winchester Cathedral, to be done!

Wander through the bustling town of Winchester or kick back and relax over a glass (or two!), or why not even savour some al fresco dining courtesy of our courtyard garden.

Feel free to speak to Ben and the team here at the pub for plenty of ideas and inspiration on places to visit.

Winchester Cathedral (1.2 miles)

Step into over 1,000 years of epic tales at Winchester Cathedral – a place where kings were crowned, secrets whispered in ancient stone, and Jane Austen herself found her final resting place. From its jaw-dropping Gothic architecture to the eerie crypt (sometimes featuring a cheeky flood!), this is no ordinary day out.

Whether you’re exploring hidden treasures, joining a quirky guided tour, or just enjoying a cream tea in the peaceful Inner Close, there’s something for history buffs, curious minds, and selfie seekers alike.
