Rooftop was closed when I was there so I couldn’t appreciate the views. My favourite parts were the ceiling ‘water’ paintings and prisoner graffiti carved into the stone. · via Google [Cheryl Mallinson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/118278128161418906287/reviews) ★★★★★ Hidden gem! Lovely friendly staff. Great vide from the roof over Winchester High Street pointing out the historical significance of local landmarks. Great value with the Great Hall ticket · via Google [Stefan Gabriel Ceausescu](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/105180587715525476784/reviews) ★★★★★ Great to visit and amazing historical value but a bit empty.
