Winchester

Winchester takes 1 day to see: Winchester Cathedral, one of the longest in Europe, and the Great Hall of its castle, with the medieval round table associated with King Arthur hanging on the wall, are the main reason to visit. April-October is best. It's mid-to-high priced by British standards. It was the capital of England during the reign of Alfred the Great, and writer Jane Austen, who spent her final months in the city, is buried in its cathedral.
