Windsor Castle

Overview
Covering 13 acres, Windsor Castle is the largest occupied castle in the world. Begun as a wooden fort by William the Conqueror, it has been added to by almost every monarch since. A visit takes in the magnificent State Apartments, St George's Chapel, Queen Mary's Dolls' House, the Drawings Gallery, and between October and March, the semi-state rooms created by George IV.

About the area
Berkshire consists of two distinct parts: the western half, which is predominantly rural, with the Lambourn Downs spilling down to the River Lambourn and the Berkshire Downs to the majestic Thames, and the eastern half of Berkshire, which offers plenty of opportunity to get out and savour open spaces. Reading and Newbury are the county’s major towns, and the River Kennet flows through them both.
