Windsor Castle-Changing of the Guard
Dabs Says: I've seen the Changing of the Guard at so many places so many times that I didn't even think to see if it was going on when we visited with the kids but as luck would have it we were passing by where it takes places just before 11:00 am, a Palace employee pointed it out to...
Tdiver Says: What need i say,from the train station it's about a 10 minute walk into the centre,the river is at the far end of the main street.Lots of pubs,restaurants and cafes to enjoy as well as the University grounds.Take the train from Central station to Slough 6 minutes and if you...

The Crooked House: Afternoon Tea
SallyM Says: The Crooked House is a fascinating old building near the castle. We went for afternoon tea as part of a 'gift experience' - this included the most expensive version of afternoon tea (the 'Queen Elizabeth'), with sandwiches, scones with jam and cream, mini patisserie, sweet...
uglyscot Says: This was a convenient restaurant near the river and the castle. We sat on the paved area and ate our snack. I had the chicken pasty which contained chunks of chicken, potatoes, peas and sweet corn. It was quite large and tasty.My daughter had a Meal Deal- jacket potato with...
West Cornwall Pasty Co.: Pasties
Dabs Says: This is one of a chain of shops in the UK selling pasties, a pastry shell containing a variety of ingredients. It's great for a quick meal and they are ready to go. I liked the bacon and cheese pasty, even the medium size one was very filling. I tried a traditional steak...
Windsor Great Perk: Excellant mixture of cafe and sweet shop!
Tim1704 Says: The food there is simple but very tasty. was served with a smile, at the table, and quickly. A very nice clean and stylish environment. You can order from the sweet menu, which contains all the old-fashioned ones! It is all well priced as well. The jacket potatoes are a...
Tdiver Says: My wifes favourite coffee company,which serves the most outrageous size coffees,another franchise has just opened in King Edward Court,where they're building a new hotel now,but the original place is here. Large black Americano is definately my favourite but it comes in a...
Browns.: Good views of the river.
Tdiver Says: Great place in summer to watch the boats going by and enjoy a meal at the same time.Used to be called the Fort and Firkin,Old Trout and the Thames Hotel.Not eaten here since its last incarnation.You're also directly across from the ferry ticket office if you fancy a trip on...
Windsor Great Perk: Inside the Windsor Royal Station Complex
gordonilla Says: The restaurant was an interesting mix of restaurant and sweet shop.Sweet Shop:During my visit 16 July 2005 - the cost of sweets was 72p for 100g - they seem to have many many shelves of jars containing sweets. You can even place an order when you are sitting in the...
Dabs Says: Updated June 2011To get from Windsor to Heathrow we went to the main street in front of the Castle where there were 2 stops with buses going to Heathrow, bus 77 from stop D in front of WH Smith and bus 71 at stop J a little further up the street on the other side. The...
Dabs Says: The quickest way to Windsor from London is via train from Paddington Station to Slough where you change trains for Windsor and Eton Central station. From the train station in Windsor, it is a very short walk to the castle. The train takes 35-40 minutes if you catch a direct...
easyoar Says: I took this picture to emphasise the fact that this line is a single track line, and only has one stop (to Slough). From Slough it is easy to change and catch trains to London Paddington, Reading or the West Coast Line.This station is Windsor and Eton Central. There is also...
The Royal Stag,Datchet.Haunted or not?
Tdiver Says: Just a short walk or train journey from Windsor is Datchet,one of Shakespeares favourite villages.Right in the centre next to the Church is the Royal Stag which is said to be haunted by a ghostly Hand print that appears on a window in the corner of the bar.The web site below...
Snow Hill in Windsor Great Park
angiebabe Says: The highest point in the Great Park of Windsor is a hill with a coppper statue of George III on his horse plonked on top of it.You can see it in the distance from the beginning of the Long Walk from Windsor Castle, a 3 mile long pretty much dead straight tree-lined path...
Dabs Says: Somehow, no matter what place I pick, the hubby always seem to find some kind of insane swimming related activity and this trip was no exception. On our way back from Euromeet in Macedonia, we stopped by London for a couple of nights and he found a swim race in Windsor in...

Royal Windsor - Home of the Queen
The reason most people visit Windsor is because of the Royal connection. The Queen still lives in Windsor Castle quite often (she has several official residences and moves between them). It is this...
I've been out to Windsor seven times on various trips, four times to visit the castle, most recently July 2011, twice just to walk the streets and in June 2011 so my husband could swim in a race in......
