Factor in a short trip outside London to visit the impressive and historic Windsor Castle. Famous for its architecture and longstanding Royal place of residence, the Castle was built in the 11th century after the Norman invasion. As well as having been used as a military headquarters during the Civil War and as a refuge for the royal family during WWII, Windsor Castle is now Queen Elizabeth II’s favourite weekend home.
Highlights:
• Oldest and largest occupied castle in the world
• Preferred weekend residence of the Queen
• Built over 900 years ago and is steeped in royal history and antique furnishings
• Traditional State Apartments and Queen Mary’s Doll House

• The Long Walk, a paved avenue of trees, runs south of the castle for 3 long miles in a straight line
