Inside the chapel you’ll find 10 different kings buried, beautiful ornate wood work commissioned by Henry V111 for Catherine of Aragon, and the stunning stained glass windows of this amazing church, inside is the final resting place of the queen mother and princess Margret along with princess Charlotte. This is a working church so you can listen to choirs and join the congregation for prayer.

We have just got home after a 1 night break in the cowboy and Angels studio. I actually cannot fault our stay at all it was perfect. We were met by the very friendly owner who showed us around and told us all about feeding the animals. The children loved feeding them! We used the discount at the greene oak pub where the food was just phenomenal. We had a very cosy night in with two very tired children after a day at legoland! We bed was extremely comfortable and we all got a great nights sleep. Waking to feed the animals and getting our fresh eggs for breakfast was a real treat! We didn’t actually want to leave to go back to legoland! If you want a very special snug abs cosy base for a legoland trip, do not hesitate to book, perfect stay, we will be back for sure! Thanks

Sadly the Windsor Garrison no longer uses this church, but it remains a shrine to the British Army with standards everywhere and the balcony fascia completely covered with memorials to various military campaigns. I was fortunate to visit on the day before Remembrance Sunday, so it was full of volunteers cleaning the interior and setting up for the following day’s service. I was able to have a fascinating talk with the vicar about the history of the church, which was initially funded by a donation by Queen Victoria. Prince Albert had a significant influence over its design and there’s a life sized statue of him in the entrance lobby. The magnificent interior is very definitely Victorian, but distinctly lighter and brighter than in many other churches of that era.
4. The Long Walk

The Long Walk as the name says clearly, is at least a 2 mile straight line walk from Windsor Castle gate to the King George Horse statue where tarmac ends. Its located in Great Windsor Park and used for all kind of Royal activities, weddings, funerals, special occasions and most recently Prince Harry wedding. It's kind of mistake to come here on summer weekends because it gets more crowded than M25 but generally winter midweeks when the weather forces people to stay indoors, you can walk the long lonely road by yourself. The best time is of course the autumn afternoons when sunlight is shining through the perfectly lined 2 tree columns. The walk itself is not only refreshing, calming, scenic but easy too. Even a child in pram can do it. I love it so much that I drive 7 miles from where I live to come here, park and walk. Because here I can get my daily dose of outdoors without getting mud on my shoes.

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and offers an extraordinarily rich and varied day out. Throughout its history, the Castle has been redecorated, enlarged and rebuilt. Today The Queen spends most of her private weekends at the Castle, which is also used regularly for ceremonial and State occasions.

The town of Windsor, located and easy 20 miles west of London, is a beautiful and must see destination for any trip to England. An easy train ride from London that is very affordable if you have an Oyster card and London Pass. You will want to spend some time visiting the historic castle and St. Georges cathedral that is NOT open for visitors on Sundays. The town itself is a true gem with lots of shops and places to get some lunch. Very friendly people and pretty accessible (except for in the Castle). it is a day well spent
7. Windsor Guildhall

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!

Tranquil Frogmore House, about a mile from Windsor Castle, has been a royal retreat for more than 300 years and today is used by the Royal Family for private entertaining. Frogmore House is only open to individuals on three summer Charity Open Days each year, when all proceeds are donated to specially selected charities. Frogmore is also open to pre-booked groups of 15 people or more during August only.

We were fortunate to have a tour of this home on the grounds of Windsor Great Park -- Harry and Megan's wedding reception was held on the lawn of this home. We were told that Queen Elizabeth and her family come here for private time, and I could picture them at this home being ordinary people for a few hours. If you have a chance to visit, it is worthwhile.
10. Windsor & Royal Borough Museum

The jewel in the Royal Borough’s crown. We’re a family friendly museum bursting with interesting facts and interactive displays on the Royal Borough and its residents. When available we offer guided tours of Windsor Guildhall where portraits of monarchs adorn our walls. Your ordinarily is our extraordinary. Keep exploring online until we open again.

This is a small single room museum on the ground floor of the Windsor Guildhall building close to the Castle. There’s a small entry fee of just £2, but it’s well worth paying to see a fascinating collection of objects connected with the town and its long history. There are also useful information boards all round the room with photographs and explanations. There’s an area in the centre with various things to keep children amused. Loved this tiny museum, which does a great job in a very limited space.
