Windsor Castle & Town of Windsor, England

It was a beautiful, sunny day when we visited the charming town of Windsor, England and the historic castle located there....Windsor Castle. The castle, which dates back to the 11th century is famous for being a residence of the royal family. While Queen Elizabeth conducts her primary duties while at Buckingham Palace in London, it is here she lives for the most part. Often, she will also conduct some of her duties while here. We were told that while we were here, she was in residence for the day, but did not have the chance to catch a glimpse of her.

As is expected, the castle is rich with history, St. George's Chapel is the place of worship that is located there. It has also held notable weddings, and is the burial place for many royals. The list of weddings and burials is to long to list here, but can be found by clicking on the following link:

When one first arrives at the castle, there is the opportunity to get a free tour of the overview of the castle before we are left on our own - our tour guide was charming, as well as funny.

The grounds of the castle are beautiful with colorful gardens. Coming for a visit here was one of the highlights of our England vacation. This included walking about the charming town of Windsor, quite a bit to see here as well, with many cafes to choose from. The old railway station has been converted into a nice shopping "mall" - we had arrived by bus; we took the train back to London. A wonderful day well spent.

Ed did all of the camcorder filming and narrations heard (with the exception of the voice of our tour guide). I did all of the other work of editing & uploading to You Tube.
