England’s Oldest Castle
Windsor Castle is located about an hour’s drive outside of London. It is the oldest castle in England. It’s also the most famous castle in the world. Built by William the Conqueror, the castle looks out over the countryside and Windsor Great Park. Over the years, it’s been home to 39 monarchs. It was one of The Queen’s official residences, prior to her passing in September 2022. Its rooms are furnished with priceless works of art from the Royal Collection.
