Windsor Castle:
Windsor Castle, first built by William the Conqueror in the 11th Century, dominates
the heart of Windsor town centre. It is the largest inhabited castle in the
world and covers approximately twelve acres. The original castle was built from
timber with earth fortifications. Through the centuries the castle has continually
been rebuilt and redeveloped by numerous kings and queens. The old timber structure
was upgraded to stone and the outer fortifications expanded.
Today, Windsor Castle remains a working palace and is one of three official residences
of the Queen. The majority of the castle is open to the public every day of the
year except for Christmas day, Easter day, and a few reserved special occasions.
The town of Windsor is also a delightful place to visit with its numerous tearooms
and cafes near the picturesque River Thames.
