Winchelsea Medieval Cellar Tours
This fascinating one-and-a-half-hour tour, visits some of the town's medieval vaulted wine cellars. Our knowledgeable guides tell the town's incredible story. Built by King Edward 1, Winchelsea was once, one of the most important ports in England. Find out why its success was so short lived, how it fell into poverty, the smugglers who lived there, and its eventual renaissance as writers and artists moved to the town in the nineteenth century.
Regular tours run from the end of March to the end of October every Saturday (plus some additional tours on other days) and can be booked online via ticketsource (see the poster).
£12.50 per person plus booking fee.
If you would like more information visit the town's website.
Note, that the stone cellar steps are quite steep and uneven, so please wear sensible footwear. Tours are not suitably for those with mobility issues.
