Winchelsea Town Well, Winchelsea

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 on some additional dates) and can be booked online via ticketsource (see the poster).

£12.50 per person plus booking fee.
