Explore Windsor town centre with two self-guided heritage walks with a treasure hunt theme. Discover Windsor's "hidden treasures" whilst having a fun day out with family and friends!
Windsor is the home to Windsor Castle and the royalty who live there. Each day you can watch the red-coated bandsmen of the Guards marching through the town, as well as the changing of the Guards. Set on a hill, the castle overlooks the Thames with its many walks, and opposite to Eton, home to Britain's most famous public school. Take a stroll through the impressive Great Park, marvel at an old steam engine in one of two railway stations, or wander around its many antiquated and quirky streets.
