Enjoy Windsor at its very best during a Royal day out.
Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world. It has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years and is today one of the official residences of His Majesty The King.
Occupying over 10.5 hectares, the Castle offers a varied day out for visitors, including a visit to the magnificent State Apartments and St George's Chapel. The Castle's State Apartments are furnished with some of the finest works from the Royal Collection, reflecting the changing
tastes of the Castle's royal occupants, particularly those of Charles II and George IV.
The Travellers Choice award winning Clarence Brassiere hosts a traditional high tea. Their fluffy scones, sumptuous cakes and dainty sandwiches are nothing short of sheer heaven. A vast selection of teas range from the pink and fruity to the smooth and authentic; at Clarence there is something for everyone.
