Winchester Cathedral Named as Top Hampshire Attraction

Winchester Cathedral has been named the top cultural attraction in Hampshire.

A survey by Hampshire County Council saw the historic building voted number one by people living in the county - ahead of other attractions including Portsmouth’s Dockyard and Marwell Wildlife.

Sarah Harfield, who works for Winchester City Tourist Information, spoke of the impact it will have on the city:

“I think it’s great – I think it’s great for Winchester, that’s what a lot of people come and visit so I think it’s really good news. With a bit of luck it will increase visitors to the city. People come for all the different attractions in the city as it is, but obviously with it being named as one of the top attractions then it will hopefully bring more people in.”
