Windsor

Day Trips in London

"Home to Windsor Castle, one of the most beautiful Royal Palaces in Britain, Windsor is an ideal day-trip destination. The main draw is the castle, a stunning building that was recently the wedding venue of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The castle was originally founded by William the Conqueror and is now the home of Queen Elizabeth II. Within the grounds are a range of exhibitions, collections, and beautiful gardens to explore. Walk through the grand state and ceremony rooms and step inside St. George’s Chapel.Compact and easy to explore on foot, Windsor brims with shops, riverside walks, historic landmarks, and restaurants to stop in for a bite. If you still have time to spare, take a walk through the city to nearby Eton College, with its impressive architecture and courtyards. The 600-year-old private school for boys is probably the best-known boarding school in the world. If it’s a weekday, you’ll see the students wearing black morning coats (like long-tailed tuxedo jackets), pin-striped pants, starched white shirts, and white ties or bowties." - MATADOR_NETWORK
