About

Winchester West is a residential district primarily composed of suburban housing estates and modern apartment developments.

The area offers practical connections to the city centre via the main Andover Road, while maintaining a separate, settled atmosphere. A notable local landmark is the historic St. Catherine's Hill, with its ancient hillfort and mizmaze earthwork, providing views over the city and surrounding water meadows.
