Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle in Berkshire is the world’s biggest and oldest inhabited castle. Built by William the Conqueror nearly 1000 years ago, it’s become a favourite pad for British Kings and Queens ever since. Get your Windsor Castle tickets here to see this historical attraction for yourself.

As impressive as the State Apartments are, we reckon it’s the Great Kitchen that keeps guests coming back for more. A cellar with 18,000 bottles of wine. A whisk that can hold 250 eggs at a time (true fact). 33 kitchen staff. 20 chefs and sous chefs. 3 pastry chefs. The spreads here even put a Nando’s party platter in the shade.

You’ll recognise Windsor from mega-events like Harry and Meghan’s wedding, top TV like The Crown and movies like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.

Adults love the grand historic and ceremonial rooms. Kids love cute attractions like Queen Mary’s Doll’s House and multimedia tours guided by Scorch the dragon. Everyone loves touring the castle defences and finding towers, battlements, arrow slots and murder holes.

And the Pug Yard Learning Centre is a great base for families during the school holidays. There are free craft and storytelling activities, picnic areas, comfy bathrooms with changing areas and a Chill Out Zone with books and beanbags. A bit of a (posh) home from home then.
