A. Winchester is a unique heritage city just an hour south-west of London. It was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Wessex and then of all Saxon England. King Alfred the Great was crowned in the city in 871, and Winchester remained England's capital until after the Norman conquest in the eleventh century. Winchester attracts a large amount of tourists by its Cathedral, Castle ruins and King Arthur's Round Table.

B. The Great Hall building was once part of Winchester Castle. On one of its walls hangs a table. Many believe it is the legendary King Arthur's Round Table. Unfortunately, scientific tests have shown that that is impossible. The table was made about thirty years after the Hall was built. The table was painted on the instructions of King Henry VIII in the sixteenth century.

C. Winchester College is one of the most prestigious schools in the world. It is highly selective, which means you have to be really bright and talented to study there. So the competition is really high. There about 30 candidates for 12 places in each class. Children do an interview first and then take serious exams. But it's a great honour to study at Winchester.

D. Winchester is an amazing location for a family holiday. Children will love dressing like Romans and searching through the galleries at Winchester City Museum. The Cathedral offers youngsters a special trail, where they can discover hidden treasures, explore the creepy cellars and search for the bones of early kings and bishops. Young people also greatly enjoy ghost tours.
