Alexandra Gardens Riverside Park

Highlight • Parking

Along the river-front there are plenty of benches to sit, both by the river, by the road alongside the river, and in Alexandra Gardens. Lovely quiet spot to enjoy the swans and passing river traffic.

There are so many historic buildings in Eton, all part of the famous Eton College school, dating back many centuries. Probably the grandest is Eton College Chapel, more like a Cathedral than a school chapel! On occasions the public can attend musical events inside. The whole area around the top of the High Street is well worth a stroll on a summer day.

Windsor Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Perhaps the most famous castle in the UK, Windsor Castle is known for its ties to the royal family and its stunning architecture.

Built in the 11th century, the castle has been used as a royal palace since its construction. It is often said to be the Queen's favourite royal residence.

The castle is open from 10am - 5pm (last admission is 4pm). Tickets cost £23.50. More information: rct.uk/visit/windsor-castle

Windsor Castle Back Gates and Start of the Long Walk

Highlight • Historical Site

A royal residence, Windsor Castle is a world famous, iconic building. Whilst the castle itself is extraordinary and well worth visiting, the view from the back gates is truly phenomenal. Windsor Great Park begins here and encompasses 4,992 acres (2,020 ha) of exquisite grounds.

From the castle's back gates, the Long Walk begins, stretching south into the Great Park. Gazing down its 3-mile span (4.8 km) is quite an experience.
