Windsor's Absolute Essentials

Windsor is home to the world’s oldest and largest occupied castle, a primary royal residence for over a millennium. Across the River Thames, the 15th-century Eton College highlights the area's academic heritage. The town's layout features historic infrastructure, including Isambard Kingdom Brunel’s wrought iron railway bridge and the 16th-century Crooked House. Extensive green spaces like Home Park border the castle, while pedestrian-friendly routes connect the historic center to the riverside.
