Curious About Windsor

Windsor is the home to Windsor Castle and the royalty who live there. Each day you can watch the red-coated bandsmen of the Guards marching through the town, as well as the changing of the Guards. Set on a hill, the castle overlooks the Thames with its many walks, and opposite to Eton, home to Britain's most famous public school. Take a stroll through the impressive Great Park, marvel at an old steam engine in one of two railway stations, or wander around its many antiquated and quirky streets.

Take our fabulous walks of discovery, and have fun finding answers to clues which tell you more, whilst reading our stories about the most interesting facts.

 

Castle Walk
This route is a perfect mix of new and old, magnificent and unusual. From the stunning castle, and a flavour of Windsor's shopping district, you circle back via some little known walkways and a small, yet delightful, play park. Via another walkway and the parish church, you enter a number of narrow and quirky streets steeped in history, before finally ending outside the castle
(1.35 miles / 2.2 kms).

 

Thames Walk

From the imposing Windsor Castle you quickly enter a world of locomotives and shops, before dropping down to some bustling riverside gardens which date back over a hundred years. Past the Royal Windsor maze, and Theatre Royal, you quickly reach the leisurely River Thames. Here you can cross over into Eton, famous for its public school, or simply stop and watch the world go by (0.75 miles / 1.2 kms).
