Such an amazing and beautiful place. Our favorite part of the UK trip. The grounds and interior are stunning. History rich in every way. Staff is so friendly and helpful….they care about this place. Highly recommend spending a day in lovely Windsor.

Great tourist spot to take your family specially this summer. It’s my mum’s first time going and she absolutely enjoyed it! We didn’t get to go inside the castle as the tickets were unavailable the day we went but you can still go and take some photos outside the castle.

Windsor Castle, located in Berkshire, England, is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it was initially a strategic fortress to protect London. Over 950 years of history, it has been a continuous royal residence for 40 monarchs. Spanning approximately 13 acres and covering around 484,000 square feet, it functions more like a fortified town. The castle's iconic Round Tower sits on a man-made mound, the oldest part of the structure. Key features include the opulent State Apartments, used for official royal functions, and St. George's Chapel, a significant royal wedding and burial site, including the late Queen Elizabeth II. The castle houses the oldest working kitchen in the country, serving monarchs for over 650 years. It also boasts Queen Mary's Doll's House, an incredibly detailed miniature mansion. During World War II, it served as a safe haven for the royal princesses. In 1992, a devastating fire destroyed many rooms, but a successful restoration was completed in 1997. Interestingly, the Royal Family adopted "Windsor" as their surname in 1917, inspired by the castle. While King Charles III owns it in right of the Crown, he does not currently reside there full-time. Some members of the Royal Family, such as the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, live within the larger Windsor Estate. It remains a working palace and a major tourist attraction, welcoming visitors year-round.

No pic was allowed inside the Windsor castle so I can’t share what’s inside. It’s my first visit to the castle in UK, and was very nice to walk around and get to see some of the decor and layout inside the castle. Only certain areas in the castle was opened to the public and was told that the King might stay there sometimes.

Had to visit a castle while in England. Tickets are easier purchased online in advance. Line ups are long but staff are efficient. Was a bit confused about line ups to see dollhouse vs the castle itself. Dollhouse is amazing but not sure it needs a huge line ups in advance. Sadly can’t take photos inside loved all the details and listening to the audio guide is helpful to understand the history of the castle. Wish more areas were open to visit. Souvenir shop is overpriced which is too bad love to take a memory home with me but prices expensive. Lots of walking including up hill walk and estate so be mindful to wear good shoes. Some rooms in the palace halls offer seating which was helpful. I went on a Sunday and unfortunately don’t get to view the church on the Inside but outside beautiful. Good thing Your visit to Windsor castle can also include walking around Eaton town so lots to see in the area and shop afterwards.
