Overview

Overview

Delivering a large dose of English heritage and riverside beauty, the tiny towns of Windsor and Eton have charm, history and beautiful countryside. Think elegant swans, the Queen's residence and a top international school – enough to put anyone on their best behaviour.

See

The swan-dotted River Thames is perfect for leisurely walking and boating. Colossal Windsor Castle, the monarch's residence for centuries, is filled with living history; its huge grounds include Windsor Great Park. North of the river, tour graceful Eton College - school of choice for the rich and powerful since 1440.
Spend

Find kitsch London souvenirs on Windsor's High Street, and reliable stores like Gap and Marks & Spencer along pedestrianised Peascod Street. Try the elegant Windsor Royal Shopping for stylish boutiques such as Ghost and Jaeger, and cute crafts in its indoor market. Browse antique shops and galleries along quaint High Street Eton.
Get Out

Take to the water in a rowing boat or on a leisurely cruise along the River Thames, or follow the Thames Path Nature Trail. Enjoy a stroll around Windsor Great Park or, further afield, admire the exotic plants at Savill Garden. Don't forget to have a flutter at Royal Windsor Racecourse.
Culture

The performances at the Theatre Royal Windsor attract great names from the British stage – at a fraction of London's West End prices. Outdoor summer performances are held in the grounds of Windsor Castle and Eton College. The diverse calendar of events at Firestation Centre for the Arts includes top comedy and performing arts.
Eat & Drink

Windsor Royal Shopping has a large concentration of venues to eat and drink, or relax along the riverside with a cocktail or top French cuisine. Enjoy Italian cuisine or pub food on busy Thames Street in the castle's shadow, or visit quiet Eton High Street for its surprising selection of exotic flavours.
New Perspective

During the summer, take a turn on the Royal Windsor Wheel at Alexandra Gardens. At 180 feet above ground, it provides a very different view of Eton, Windsor and the beautiful meandering river spread out below.

Prepare

Be prepared for a crash course in British heritage. Bring comfortable shoes for walks along the Thames, and an eye for antiques and royal kitsch.

Windsor & Eton Year

Celebrate all things equestrian with dressage and show jumping during the Royal Windsor Horse Show in May, and cheer on the hardy athletes during June's Royal Windsor Triathlon. Get your best hat ready for Royal Ascot in June and watch the tagging of the snow-white water fowl during July's Swan Upping. Take in musical extravaganzas at Eton College and Windsor Castle grounds during the Windsor Festival in September.

Fit In

Just because you're in royal territory, it's not necessary to dress as if you're visiting the Queen. Wear comfortable shoes for muddy walks, and bring a change of clothes for an evening at the theatre.

Highlights

Highlights

The snaking River Thames divides Windsor and Eton – viewed perfectly from the top of the Windsor Wheel.

Head to Windsor Castle with its heritage, jaw-dropping State Rooms, portrait-covered walls, and royal tombs inside St George's Chapel. Catch the buzby-clad Changing of the Guard marching to the castle. On the busy High Street, wander into the 17th-century Guildhall (Mondays only), venue of Prince Charles' and Elton John’s second weddings. South of the Great Park, the whole family will love the interactive rides and adventure at Legoland Windsor.

Hire a bike at Alexandra Gardens and cycle, walk, row or cruise along the River Thames. Cross the bridge to Eton High Street, and down to world-famous Eton College. Take a tour around the boarding school which has produced 18 British prime ministers – still teaching schoolboys in tailcoats.
Sightseeing Tips

Pre-book your tickets for Legoland Windsor through their website to save money on their entrance prices; look under the 'Special Offers' section for the best deals on fixed dates. Feed the swans on the River Thames but beware - although they look lovely, they can get aggressive if you get too close.
