There are plenty of other attractions in the area, so make sure you plan ahead and allow enough time to see everything. The prestigious Eton College is located across from the river, while Windsor Great Park provides plenty of good walks. Windsor Castle: is one of the largest and most impressive castles found anywhere in the country. It was built during the 11th century and has been renovated a number of times by different monarchs. Extensive repairs were carried out in 1992 after a huge fire destroyed the Royal Apartments and now the castle is more popular than ever. The tombs include Henry VIII and his third wife, Jane Seymour, Queen Mary, George V, Charles I and Edward IV. The Royal Apartments contain some excellent works of art such as Van Dyck, Rembrandt and Durer. The Changing of the Guard takes place every morning outside the main gates. Eton College: was formed in 1440 by Henry VII and is the most well known public school in the country. Over the years, it has educated some of England's greatest men including 20 prime ministers, George Orwell, Ian Fleming, the Duke of Wellington and Aldous Huxley. Windsor Arts Centre: is housed in an old fire station and hosts a variety of cultural activities including dance, comedy, drama, music, films and exhibitions. Workshops are frequently held for those that would like to try out their creative talents. Alexandra Garden: is a good place to relax when you have finished your sightseeing. The gardens were opened in the early 1900s and provide some picturesque views, especially over the castle and its grounds. Inside the gardens, you will find a skate park, trampolines and a small cafe. When you are ready to leave, take the promenade along the River Thames back into Windsor. |
