The enchanting town of Windsor is in Berkshire and borders Eton, the castle stands majestically on a hill overlooking the River Thames, and has been home to many monarchs over the last 900 years. A trip around the private apartments will show treasures from times past with paintings by Rubens, Rembrandt and Van Dyke, the special gem in the crown is the wonderful Dolls House that belonged to Queen Mary, with working chandeliers, and a grandfather clock that chimes every hour, the enchanting dolls house took three years to build and is testimony to the craftsmen who constructed it lovingly. St Georges Chapel is home to the Order of The Garter and the architecture is stunning, started by Edward 1V and finally completed by Henry V111, if you time your visit right you can watch the pageantry of the Queen parading with the Order members as they walk in ceremonial procession to the chapel, where ten previous monarchs are buried. Runnymede is only three miles away and is where the Magna Carta was signed, or for the lovers of water, a walk along the river front will share the beauty of the scenery and wildlife, where boats and swans glide elegantly, artists pack an extra paint brush as there is much to capture. For a quickening pace of heart why not visit Windsor Races, or how about Royal Ascot where the Queen attends, and ladies dress to impress on Ladies Day. Or there is Thorpe Park with scintillating rides such as Nemesis, Stealth and Colossus. Or perhaps Legoland where you can travel through an indoor Rainforest, visit an Enchanted Forest, or choose from fifty rides. For the story of the Household Cavalry a trip to Horse Guards Parade will uncover the mystery of the last three hundred years….. Windsor’s magic is everlasting.
