Great pub a short stroll on the cobbled streets from the castle. They serve over 100 different gins in the pub and also have their own Guildhall Island Gin (named after the cobbled area where the pub is located). Perfect!

Sightseeing

The oldest inhabited castle in the world ... and we think the most beautiful! A must see when your'e here. Try and co-ordinate a visit when the guards are changing. (Note changing of the guard timings change depending on the time of year and what else is happening at the Castle).

Parks & Nature

No visit to Windsor would be complete without walking or jogging along the Long Walk - no bicycles allowed though. This 3 mile tree-lined avenue stretches from the Castle to towards the impressive Copper Horse depicting George III on horse back. Red Deer can often be spotted too. Pop into the Two Brewers on your way back to quench your thirst.

A combination of high street shops and a few bespoke shops. If in doubt ask for 'King Edward Court' - no local will respond to Windsor Yards!
