Windsor Castle: A Historical Gem
Step back in time to the 11th century and explore the rich history of Windsor Castle, where William the Conqueror founded this iconic landmark. Witness the castle's enduring resilience, having weathered sieges and served various roles throughout history, from serving as a royal court by Kings Henry VIII and Elizabeth I to becoming the residence of 39 monarchs, most notably Queen Elizabeth II, who cherished weekends spent at the castle.

Nestled within 13 acres, Windsor Castle boasts an impressive 1,000 rooms across three distinctive sections—Middle Ward, Upper Ward, and Lower Ward. The Upper Ward features the state apartments on the northern side, while the southern section accommodates the personal quarters of the Royal Family.

Under King Charles II's reign, the state apartments underwent renovations to rival those of Versailles, showcasing exceptional artistry with works by renowned artists like Rembrandt and Rubens. This architectural marvel continues to captivate visitors today.

St George's Chapel, located within the castle grounds, stands as a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, constructed during the reign of Edward IV. Its unique stone ceiling, adorned by Henry VII, offers a stunning visual experience when admired from above.

Notable historical events have taken place here, such as the royal wedding ceremonies involving individuals like The Earl and Countess of Wessex, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.

Visitors may also observe the Changing of the Guard at Windsor Castle, an awe-inspiring spectacle featuring the military procession through Windsor Town and into the castle for the guard change.

Eton: A Legacy of Education
Eton lies within the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, situated on the opposite bank of the River Thames. Accessible via a footbridge, Eton College, established by King Henry VI in 1440, stands as the oldest public school in England, second only to Winchester. The high street is brimming with antique shops, preserving historic charm, and the beautifully preserved shop fronts reflect the area's rich heritage. The college occupies the entire region north of Barnes Pool Bridge, making it a significant educational institution.
