Windsor
Great days out by train
Windsor is probably better known for its royal heritage and the magnificent Windsor Castle, but there is so much more to discover, all within a short walk from Windsor & Eton Riverside train station! For a tranquil visit take a boat trip on the River Thames, which runs through the town, or stroll the great park and visit the world famous savill gardens. If entertaining the children is on your agenda, then a visit to Legoland Windsor is a must. If it’s shopping you’re after, the high street offers great retail therapy.
Windsor RacesWindsor Races is set on the banks of the River Thames. Spanning across three enclosures for watching racing - The Club Enclosure, The Grandstand Enclosure and the Silver Ring Enclosure - it offers great entertainment. Take a 10-minute river taxi, just a short walk from Windsor & Eton Riverside train station straight to the racecourse.
