More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull away from London's hum and, within an hour, the road opens onto the royal silhouette of Windsor Castle rising above clipped lawns and the long, tree-lined vista of the Long Walk. The driver eases you into town; cobbled streets and riverside pubs replace taxis and glass towers. For the next few hours you set your own pace—touring state rooms, scanning the ornate woodwork of Queen Anne’s Dolls’ House, or watching guards in red crepe march with precise, public theatre.
