Day 1 - Arrive at Winchester Morn Hill Club Campsite
Settle into the campsite and meet your tour hosts and fellow members.
Day 2 - Winchester Cathedral and a gin distillery
You’ve got a contrasting day ahead starting with a trip to visit Winchester Cathedral. Discover the breathtaking beauty of the Cathedral, where you can marvel at its stunning Gothic architecture and explore the historic surroundings of this iconic English landmark.
The afternoon then takes a very different turn as you head to Bombay Sapphire Distillery. You may recognise the distinctive sapphire blue gin bottles and now you get to see the inner workings of the distillery as you learn about the distillation process and the variety of ingredients used in modern day gins. And of course, it's only fair that you get to sample the end result!
Day 3 - Free day to enjoy at your leisure
You might want to venture back into Winchester today to explore more of the city or enjoy a relaxing lunch. Or maybe you want to get out and enjoy the gently rolling hills of the South Downs National Park, the UK’s newest national park.
Day 4 - Portsmouth Dockyard and the Spinnaker Tower
Head for the coast today and the historic city of Portsmouth, with its rich naval history that continues to this day in its role as a key port for the Royal Navy. The Historic Dockyard in Portsmouth is home to some of the most notable ships in our history. You can set foot on HMS Victory, the flagship for Admiral Horatio Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar, and see the remains of the Mary Rose, King Henry VIII’s warship which infamously sank on its maiden voyage and which was recovered from the sea bed in those famous scenes of the early 80’s.
After exploring the Dockyard visit the Spinnaker Tower which dominates Portsmouth’s skyline and on a clear day affords views out across the Solent, the Isle of Wight and Hampshire. The tower's high speed lift will whisk you from sea level to the viewing deck, 100 metres up the tower where you can take in those views and gaze out across the city.
