Real Traveler reviews for Winchester Cathedral

More information on Winchester Cathedral

This magnificent cathedral in Winchester has the longest nave in Europe. The foundations were laid by the Normans in 1079, and to this day it remains a stunning landmark. Its outstanding treasures include the Winchester Bible, which was written in the cathedral's scriptorium between 1160 and 1180, and a 17th Century library that contains ancient manuscripts and early printed books. Ancient kings like King Canute lie buried here and the novelist Jane Austen.
