Dean Garnier Garden
Head towards Winchester Cathedral.
Note the blocked arches in the wall on your right. The larger central arch provided the entry to the medieval monks’ dormitory. Go through the 13th century doorway a little further on and up the steps to Dean Garnier Garden, where interpretive panels explain the cathedral architecture and the plan of the close.
