Windsor Castle





                                 Windsor  Castle  has  served  as  the  summer

                                     residence  of  British  Royals  since  William  the

                                     Conqueror  built  the  first  fortress  here  in

                                     1078.  The  largest  inhabited  castle  in  the

                                     world,  Windsor  Castle  is  built  around  two
                                     spectacular  courtyards,  and  entrance  fees

                                     include                  admission                       to             the              State

                                     Apartments  (closed  when  The  Queen's  at

                                     flying).  Also  of  note  is  the  wonderful  Great

                                     Park, a magnificent 6 mi-long park that most

                                     North American visitors will already have seen

                                     from the air as they fly into Heathrow. And, of

                                     course,  no  visit  to  a  royal  palace  would  be
                                     complete without witnessing the Changing the

                                     Guard in the Castle Precincts.
