The historic fortress of Windsor Castle, standing proud one its wooded chalk ridge, has been 'home' to the Queen and earlier sovereigns of England for over 900 years. The rooms in the Upper Ward, devastated by fire on 20 November 1992, have been restored to their former glory, the work being completed on the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Her Majesty the Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh.
Windor Castle's mighty Round Tower continued to stand sentinel over its Royal apartments and chapels, girded by rugged stone walls and a medley of turrets, hard by the nestling town and tranquil River Thames.
This guide gives you not only the history of Windsor Castle, but also include stunning photographs to give you a feel for the place.
