Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

As one of only two surviving old city wall gateways it is infused with history. The earliest surviving segment is likely from Anglo Saxon times. It was grand standing in the archway and safely admiring the streetscapes on both sides, given that High Street was diverted around it in 1959.
With the combined museum ticket it was worth visiting that within. It’s not in the same league as the City Museum but it does have a fine selection of weights and measures from prior to Imperial units.
They reiterate the importance always attaching to accurate weights so that buyers would not be easily defrauded by untrustworthy traders.

A lovely little museum, with some interesting exhibits and plenty of information to read. As a history buff I spent a good hour reading everything. The terrace upstairs on the roof is pleasant enough - you just get a view of the High Street and the Law Courts but not much else. I was rather hoping to find refreshments up there but sadly there were none! Note that the entrance to the Museum is not obvious, especially if you are heading down the High Street as I was, from the train station. You need to go through the arch beside the main road then turn right and immediately right again where there is an ancient door and some steps to climb to enter the Museum entrance. Could be better sign-posted. The Great Hall (with King Arthur's Round Table) is part of your visit and this is 2 minute walk from the Westgate Museum.

The Westgate was used, among other things, as a debtor's prison and houses some fascinating artefacts. The lady at the desk was very knowledgeable and I enjoyed this visit which I combined with the Great Hall at a reduced price booking the two attractions together online. The "graffiti" carved into the stone by the inmates was fascinating.

We visited here with a combined ticket for the Great Hall and City Museum too. The Westgate is quite small but it's interesting to walk around the outside first to see it's original defensive role as one of the city gates.
The lady in the ticket office was lovely and very helpful and the museum has, for its size, a lot of exhibits and information including activities for kids. We probably spent about half an hour inside the building and the rooftop viewing area.

This museum is located in the ancient gateway to Winchester.
It is a very small museum, but still worth visiting.
If you climb up to the roof, there is a great view towards the centre of Winchester.
A good visit.

A location that must be seen by anyone visiting Winchester! I was touring with my friend who is not local to the South around Winchester and stopped in at the museum to show some more local history, we both had a great time whilst visiting. We were the only visitors at the time so took our time looking at all the items and details of the place and even went up onto the roof which I don't remember from my last visit! The ceilings and walls have so much history and it's a fascinating place to gain some insight into how Winchester would have been back then.
The staff were friendly and let us just wander around quietly before we left to visit another museum. I will definitely visit again.

£4.50 per adult to visit one room of artifacts and the roof. Very limited views off the roof due to surrounding buildings and safety barriers. Disappointing artifact display but some fun clothes and costumes to try on and photograph.

The Westgate Museum is a perfect way to spend time exploring the history of Winchester. The Museum is unique in the sense that its building is very much an artefact in itself, being a surviving gate to the city. Its changing role throughout history is also interesting to see inside, for instance prisoner’s graffiti can be seen dating back hundreds of years. On top of the fascinating artefacts within the building such as the gibbet, the rooftop panoramic view of the city is well-worth seeing and is a fantastic photo opportunity.
I would personally recommend getting the joint ticket to see the Westgate Museum as well as the City Museum.

Thank you so much for your review, so glad you enjoyed your visit 😁
Although the Westgate is small, it is full of wonderful artefacts and the building is history in its self, hopefully we will see you soon 🙂

Review from Oct 2021. Small but interesting museum with great view from tower. Staff helpful, we got the joint ticket with the city museum, so £8 each, don’t mind paying as we are supporting the museums and city in this strange times. Good visit and good COVID precautions in place.

Amazing views from window and you can climb the stairs to go on the roof which is a bonus.
It is so amazing at how much they have packed in this small room, but it is so full of history and excellent descriptions.
I was amazed at how much they packed in for the child to do, including dressing up in armour. Also a quiz where you got a small prize.
An excellent little gift shop, but one poor cold person at the front desk as there is no proper heating.
Mind you I should imagine it is great in the summer when we are having a heatwave!
