Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. Widely known as the Queen's favourite royal residence, the castle dominates the iconic Berkshire skyline.
Windsor Castle Highlights:
- Windsor Castle's rich history stretches back for 1000 years. Originally a wooden fortress erected by William the Conquerer, the site has been continually altered and added to over the years to reflect its changing position at the heart of the British monarchy. At times a protective fortress, a palace, a home and even a prison, Windsor Castle has stayed close to the hearts of successive British kings and queens for over a millennium. Visitors today can expect to be immersed in the grand history of the British Isles when they come to Windsor, and a tour around the castle is the perfect way to teach your family about the nation's heritage. Impressive and unforgettable, Windsor Castle makes for a truly remarkable day out. What's more, throughout summer and autumn, Windsor opens several of its semi-state rooms for public viewing. This year also heralds the opening of the castle's family orientated Exploring Armour programme. Check with the website for full details about which sections of the castle will be open when you make your visit.
