Windsor Walking Tour
Windsor, United Kingdom
Why Walk Windsor
Windsor Castle has been a royal residence since William the Conqueror built the first fortifications here in the 11th century. The castle dominates the town from its hilltop position above the Thames. Queen Elizabeth II spent most of her weekends here, and it remains one of the official residences of the British monarch. The town below is a charming mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture.
