Towering above the Thames, Windsor Castle has been a royal residence for almost a thousand years, making it the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world. A chauffeur-driven visit lets you approach in comfort and arrive before the day's crowds, ready to explore the lavish State Apartments, hung with works from the Royal Collection, and the exquisite St George's Chapel, resting place of monarchs and home of the Order of the Garter.

The castle's setting is as memorable as its rooms. The Long Walk runs straight as an arrow for nearly three miles through the Great Park to a statue of George III, a view that takes the breath away. Across the river lies Eton and its famous college, an easy addition to the day. Your chauffeur handles the parking and the busy town centre so your time is spent on the castle, not the logistics.
