Sightseeing

The oldest inhabited castle in the world ... and we think the most beautiful! A must see when your'e here. Try and co-ordinate a visit when the guards are changing. (Note changing of the guard timings change depending on the time of year and what else is happening at the Castle).

Parks & Nature

No visit to Windsor would be complete without walking or jogging along the Long Walk - no bicycles allowed though. This 3 mile tree-lined avenue stretches from the Castle to towards the impressive Copper Horse depicting George III on horse back. Red Deer can often be spotted too. Pop into the Two Brewers on your way back to quench your thirst.
