With picturesque views across unspoilt water meadows, Winchester College is conveniently located close to the city centre and Cathedral. Founded in 1382, the College has the longest unbroken history of any English school. It is steeped in history, having one of the finest collections of historic buildings in the area, including the original medieval courtyards and cloisters. These and the glorious grounds provide an original and tranquil setting for corporate or private events.
