You step out of the air‑conditioned vehicle into a courtyard where stones have been walked by kings and courtiers for nearly a millennium. A wind from the Great Park teases the banners above Windsor Castle’s Round Tower; later, the Thames will hum beside the formal terraces at Hampton Court as yew hedges loom like patient, sculpted guards.
