Windsor Castle - the oldest & largest inhabited castle in the world.

  • Windsor Castle, one of The Queen's official residences
  • State Apartments

The largest fully occupied Castle in the world and the occasional home of Her Majesty the Queen. Built in the 11th century as a defensive stronghold and royal residence, today one of the most visited castles in Britain and a favourite of her majesty the Queen - this tour is a must for all Royal enthusiasts.

 

Visit the State apartments that have entertained Royal and distinguished visitors over the centuries. Also in the castle there is Queen Mary’s dolls house – perfect in every detail, with all the latest ‘mod cons’ electric lights, working lifts and flushing toilets. Everything from table settings by royal Doulton, Minton and Wedgewood to the library of books containing works by authors including Charles Dickens.

 

Walk around to St Georges' Chapel, within the precincts of the castle, the chapel built between the late 15th and mid-sixteenth centuries contains the tombs of ten sovereigns including Henry VIII, Charles I and King George VI. We complete the tour with a drive past the famous and exclusive  Eton College, this fine educational establishment was founded by Henry IV in 1400 and has provided the nation with 19 prime ministers as well as educating Princes William and Harry.
