You pull away from London traffic in a comfortable minivan, the city thinning into parkland and clipped hedgerows, and the Thames begins to thread silver through green. Arriving in Windsor, your Blue Badge guide leads you down streets that have watched royal processions for centuries, past the buttressed walls and round towers of Windsor Castle until the castle looms above the town like an organized landscape of stone and ceremony.
