Windsor Guide

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 Castle

Windsor Castle is the world’s oldest—and largest—occupied castle. With over 900 years of British history to its past, the castle is one of the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen, and it covers an area of 26 acres.
