Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Winchester's historic city centre, with its beautiful cathedral, has a fabulous range of shops, restaurants and entertainment. The New Forest National Park, 20 miles to the west, is a great place for cycling (bike hire available), walking, horse riding and picnics. We are just 25 minutes away from Highclere Castle, the famous filming location of Downton Abbey. There are several stately homes nearby including Montacute House, Mottisfont Abbey, and Jane Austen's home at Chawton. You can reach the historic cities of Oxford, Salisbury, Chichester and Bath for a day trip. There are also some beautiful beaches less than an hour away - our favourite is at Mudeford, near Christchurch.
For younger guests, Winchester Science Centre has interactive science and technology displays together with a large planetarium. In less than 30 minutes you can enjoy Paulton's Park and Marwell Zoo. Legoland at Windsor is an easy day trip. The Harry Potter Studio is just over an hour away and Portsmouth is just 45-minutes away, with multiple attractions including Nelson's Flag Ship HMS Victory (1759) and King Henry VIII's Mary Rose.
