More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of central London traffic and into a softer light as the chauffeur eases the vehicle onto the tree-lined approach to Windsor. The Round Tower looms above clipped lawns while the River Thames runs a slow, insistent line that seems to dare you to wander its banks. Over the next half day you move between formal royal spaces, a historic boys’ college and pastoral memorials — each place with its own measured rhythm.
