Royal Windsor
& Eton Tour
Windsor Castle,
oldest of the Queen's four principal homes, was first built for William
the Conqueror in 1070 but extensively renovated for Queen Victoria. The
state apartments are sumptuously furnished and St George's Chapel, where
ten monarchs are buried, is an outstanding example of late 15th-century
architecture. Children love Queen Mary's Dolls' House and its everyday
items miniaturised in meticulous detail.
The town itself, located to the west of the castle walls, retains a
Georgian character. The Savill Garden,
set in Windsor Great Park, is splendid in early summer when the
rhododendrons are in flower. A footbridge across the Thames connects
Windsor with Eton and its famous school, and downstream is the meadow at
Runnymede where King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215.
