Windsor Castle is easily accessible from London. Either take a train from Paddington or book a coach tour to see around the Queen's preferred family home.

Windsor Castle is the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world and completely dominates the town. A castle has been on this site since William the Conqueror some 900 years ago.

    Highlights include:
  • Coats of Arms in St George's Hall in the State Apartments
  • Largest dining table in the world in the Waterloo Chamber in the State Apartments (seats 100)
  • St George's Chapel - don't miss the burial vault for King Henry VIII in the central aisle and the Albert Memorial Chapel near the exit

You can also book tickets at the VisitBritain Shop (Buy Direct).
