Highlights
You will learn of the legends around some of the most iconic locations in Winchester. You will get to know notable characters of kings, queens and bishops that work hard to give the city its hard earned reputation, such as King Alfred. This tour covers a wide range of historical events, walking through different sections of the city to get your to connect with its character and beautiful architecture inspired by prominent buildings like Winchester cathedral and the old castle.

About Bournemouth
Bournemouth is a seaside resort on England's south coast, with miles of golden sand, pine-clad chines, a Victorian pier and a lively seafront.
Bournemouth grew from a few houses on a heathland coast in the early nineteenth century into one of England's best-known seaside resorts. A wide sandy beach stretches for about eleven kilometres, backed by cliffs, gardens and a pier, and steep wooded ravines called chines cut down to the sea.
Top-ranked sights in Bournemouth: Bournemouth Pier, Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum.
