Windsor Castle Tour
Discover the history, pageantry, and grandeur of Windsor Castle, a royal residence at Windsor in the English county of Berkshire.
A Windsor Castle Tour is unmissable because…
Windsor Castle was Queen Elizabeth II’s favourite residence where she passed some of her happiest times as a child. But she’s not the only one to love it. Windsor Castle has been a royal home for 900 years, making it the oldest continuously inhabited royal castle in the world!
