Great tour of a little zoo with a personal guide who had limitless patience for questions and was clearly passionate about her animals. Highlight was half an hour inside the meerkat enclosure with a dozen of the little creatures clambering all over us. Enjoyed by children (aged 7 and 9) and adults alike. Total duration two hours. Excellent value for money. An unforgettable experience.

The Long Walk is exactly what it says it is and from the Castle gates to the Horse Monument and back again is a total of 5.2 Miles, every each of it is well worth the effort and walk - wear comfy shoes, definitely dont miss doing this.
6. Windsor Guildhall

Reviewed By BigHugh51 - Adelaide, Australia
During each of our three visits to Windsor, we have viewed the town’s fine town hall which is called the Windsor Guildhall because it was originally the meeting place for craft guilds. It has only been in more recent times that the building has been used as the meeting chamber for Windsor’s town councils. Our most recent visit to Windsor, again saw us admiring the intricate exterior architecture of this small town hall. Its facade is dominated by columns and arches and the finely carved statues embedded in the wall above the arches on both ends of the entrance portico. Whilst we were there this time, many other visitors were taking some time to admire and photograph this fine building. A “must-see” location for any tourist spending time in Windsor!
7. Stanley Spencer Gallery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 184 reviews
The Stanley Spencer Gallery is a very special place for all generations of the family to enjoy. Devoted to the work of one of Britain's greatest twentieth century painters, Sir Stanley Spencer, the Gallery was named by ArtFund last year (2019) as being one the UK's five most 'unmissable' small Art Galleries. It has also been awarded a coveted Michelin Green Star, and has recently gained a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. Spencer was born in 1891 in the family home in Cookham High Street. Whatever the current exhibition (there are two per year), the visitor can be assured of discovering poignant images of Cookham and people in Spencer's life. Many of Spencer's works depict joyous and vivid fusions of the ordinary with the extraordinary and the earthly with the spiritual, often touched by the trauma of his wartime experiences. The Gallery provides the largest collection of Sir Stanley Spencer's works on display anywhere in the world.

Very small gallery but very interesting, because you are local to where all the paintings were created. The staff are so well informed about Spencer's history and they will guide you to the church and other local spots highlighted in many of Spencer 's key works. Plus several fantastic old and welcoming pubs and you can also take a Thames side stroll.

One of Brunel’s great achievements -this was the longest unsupported brick arches in the world when it was built and still one of the longest today. Kids will love the echo when you are underneath it!

Took a trip over with my family, was a lovely place to visit we stood for a while watching the boats in the lock my children were fascinated of how it all works. If you walk down a little further and go over the bridge you will walk into Ray mill Island. Lovely walking area where your see lots of wildlife, and a animal corner of guinea pigs, birds. If you walk down a little further there is a weir. There is a cafe where they serve hot and cold drinks and ice cream etc, there is a small play area for the children, a lovely couple of hours spent.

Lucky enough to get a ticket to see "The Dark Side of the Wall" at Norden Farm. What a great evening with talented musicians, powerful sound in a relatively intimate setting. The venue has an excellent bar with some great Rebellion beer and very friendly and patient staff. Look forward to seeing another gig there soon. Thanks.
