Weekend Breaks in Windsor

Immerse yourself in the history of the Queen's weekend retreat and the wedding venue for the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Established in the 11th century by William the Conqueror, this castle is filled with incredible history and wonderful architecture.

It served as the main access route for English royalty travelling all the way to Greenwich Palace and the Tower of London. Spend some time here on a sunny day. Rent a rowing boat and float down the river, admiring the town views along the way.

Add Frogmore House and Gardens to your itinerary and grab a rare chance for lesser-known but sumptuous royal retreats. This regal house is where Queen Victoria was laid to rest and is a must-see on any trip to Windsor.

This private school is one of the most famous ancient institutions in the world, where Prime Minister David Cameron and Prince William and Harry studied. In the summer, tours of the college and grounds can be arranged.

The historic parkland spans over 4,800 acres. Encounter ancient monuments, forest trails, rare wildlife, horticultural displays, plants and fungi. Lose yourself in gentle woodland walkways in The Valley Gardens or check out some animals at Virginia Water Lake.
