South Wonston is situated approximately 5 miles to the north of Winchester with its local shop, village hall and primary school. Access to open country is immediately accessible with footpaths and bridleways providing links to King's Worthy and Sutton Scotney to the north. The splendid and historical cathedral city of Winchester delights with much character and diverse architecture, whilst successfully delivering a modern cosmopolitan feel concentrated over just a few square miles. As well as national retail chains, Winchester is home to an array of independent boutique shops and eateries and an impressive farmers market. Winchester is also highly renowned for its outstanding educational establishments ranging from both private and state schools to popular sixth form college and the oldest public school in the United Kingdom. Coast and country lifestyle pursuits are all within striking distance as the city is well placed for the South Downs National Park, the New Forest, the Meon Valley and both Bournemouth and Portsmouth’s coastal beaches. Equally however, the capital is commutable within the hour, using South West Trains rail connections to London Waterloo and with Southampton’s international airport granting air travel for those seeking further destinations.
